White wine can tingle those tired tastebuds after a late-night on Christmas Eve; it can be a flavour friend to a fish starter; and it can shimmy alongside your turkey and trimmings and add some lovely fruity flavours as you super-indulge. wine and beer shop south campusThree whites as guests arrive (after the Champers, obviously)best wine sites design Primus Pinot Grigio (Waitrose, £6.49) is a very drinkable white from Germany, drier and with a crisper, less acidic fruit flavour than the Italian pinots; best box wine australiathere's a mineral flavour, too. buy glass wine bottles

It’s great value and hugely drinkable. What’s not to like … oh, and it will also be great with seafood cocktail in case your guests carry it to the table. Most Wanted Albariño (Bargain Booze, £6.99) Albariño is one of my favourite wines and this one doesn’t disappoint. Aromas of peaches, marzipan and honeycomb breeze out of the glass and mouthwatering lemons and stone fruits remain juicy in the mouth long after the glass is finished. wine to give for christmasRiesling Alsace Ollwiller Grand Cru AOP (Lidl, £8.99) Your senses first pick up warm baking apples, but then this wine wakes and shakes you with intense citrus flavours and lots of acidity. best wine to drink after workIt would cut through any dullness on Christmas Day morning after over-indulging on Santa’s leftover sherry the night before. A trio of whites for your starters and those terrible Christmas cracker jokes

Tesco Finest* North Row Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc (£14) Wow. An intense sauvignon blanc. Imagine a shaft of sun piercing through the gap in a cloud and you’ll just about have it - once you add gooseberries and wet grass after a summer shower. Delicious, and one not to hurry. Ideal with my favourite Chrimbo starter - some flash fried prawns, scallops with a dash of chilli salsa and rocket salad. The Co-operative Truly Irresistible Chablis (£9.99) A great wine from Brocard, one of the the leading lights of the Chablis region. I’ve visited the Brocard vineyards but I’m not biased - I’m recommending this because it’s bloomin’ lovely. There’s lemon zest on the nose and dry, spikes of citrus flash through your mouth. It is perfect with seafood as the vines’ roots weave through fossilised oysters from ancient seabeds, soaking up maritime minerals. Domaine Chanzy Rully En Rosey 2013 (Majestic, Mix Six price £12.74, single bottle price £16.99) No apologies for including two Rully wines from Burgundy in this festive line-up … these wines are very tasty indeed.

In this one there are buttery overtones with pears and green fruit on the nose, and then to taste it fairly licks with apples, lemons and a nutty creaminess. If you’re having seafood or a chunky pate, this would be a fine match and it would breeze on through to the turkey quite happily. Three whites to big up the main event and pour as the turkey is carved Rully Domaine Marguerite Dupasquie (Asda, £10.50) Not being a slave to fashion, I’m still a great fan of chardonnay and this Rully 2013 from the south of Burgundy is one of the best I have tasted in a long while. A 100% chardonnay this is a robust white with a strong oaky smell and taste, with a nice fruity zing on the tongue. Enjoy with your turkey … but you know what, it is also great with a slither of cheese (if you have any tummy room). Beronia Rueda Verdejo 2014 (Ocado, RRP £8.99) There’s lovely aromas of pineapples and a bundle of herbs from this wine; then when you sip it’s as fresh as a springtime breeze but with added depth from stone fruits and citrus.

One of my favourite Christmas trimmings is brussel sprouts tossed in butter and slithers of lemon rind … this would be a great, fruity pairing match. Reserve du Boulas, Laudun, Côtes du Rhône Villages 2014 (Marks & Spencer, £9) A lovely smooth and rounded blend of grenache blanc and clairette, it has delicate flavours of apple with just a touch of citrus fruit. If you like your white wines to be slightly buttery, without too much acidity, then you'll love this. It is a lovely fresh tingly blend which will just keep your tastebuds awake even if your party hat is beginning to droop. Any room for pudding? If you want white wine with dessert, aim to match a wine’s sweetness to the sweetness of what you’re eating. A tingly fizzy moscato would be lovely - or my favourites are dessert wines. Pillitteri Vidal Icewine (Lidl, £14.99, 35cl) won't break the bank and its packed with honeyed notes of lychee and pear. A special wine to appear in Waitrose is The Denbies Noble Harvest Ortega 2014 (£19.99 37.5cl), the first English dessert wine to be listed by a British supermarket.
