It’s been snowing for much of the day today – winter is coming, and so is Christmas. At the beginning of each December we start stockpiling food and drink to be consumed during Christmas week. This year, we plan on ordering a couple of Christmas mixed wine cases (or three). We enjoy red, white, rosé and sparkling wines – any kind of wine really! 🙂
Our local supermarket has quite a good range of wines on offer, but we like to try new things at this time of year. These days, ordering wine online is just so easy to do. There are lots of places where you can buy mixed wine cases, i.e. 12 bottles of red, white and sometimes rosé or sparkling – often from various countries and continents. The good thing about this option is that generally, you get bottles of wine that you probably wouldn’t have chosen yourself – an opportunity for surprising and delectable discoveries!
Whenever we come across a bottle of wine that we really love, we record it on the free Delectable app. – just take a photo of the label and it usually recognises the wine. It gives you other people’s reviews and ratings… and works on beers and spirits as well.
