White's Wine: All the wines you need for Christmas

They are online, they are trusted and they are exciting. They are Molly Brown’s Wine List.

The company, set up by a small group of wine lovers to bring something a bit different to like-minded consumers, has just launched a ‘job-done’ Christmas box.

They don’t want you to let Granny down by pouring sub-standard wine on the big day.

Of course, this fine selection can be used for any dinner party – I’m hooked on Come Dine With Me.

Kick off with the golden Chanoine Grande Reserve Brut Champagne. It’s the only way to welcome guests.

For starters, open the Climbing Pinot Grigio and Old Coach Road Sauvignon Blanc. The pinot has a hint of citrus and spice, while the sauvignon is dry with a full range of zesty flavours.

Moving on, and the Old Coach Pinot Noir is a good transition bottle to take you into the reds. Light and velvety with ripe berry flavours.

This will set you up for the Las Moras Three Valleys Gran Shiraz – a more powerful, rich wine with great balance, complexity and structure.

Dessert wine is often overlooked but can really lift a pudding – that is why the Las Moras Late Harvest Viognier is included.

How much, you ask? Retail price is £82.94 for the six bottles and a gift box, but there is a special introductory 10 per cent discount and the box is free which brings it down to £70.
