Viikon Viini’s Christmas Recommendations

Christmas is approaching and questions about wine recommendations for the holidays and gift bottles are in high demand. We decided to make the choice easier and gather our recommendations in one place!


Made for Sharing

If you enjoy a juicy, berry-forward and spicy red wine, Apinaviini is an excellent choice! This smooth wine is rich and full-flavored, yet has a calm gentleness combined with high quality.

Katse La Mirada Organic Tempranillo Syrah bag-in-box provides enough red wine for the whole Christmas gathering to share. It works both as a food wine and for socializing over board games.

With Christmas Ham

Segredos de São Miguel Grande Escolha is a full-bodied red wine from Portugal. Family business Casa Relvas produces award-winning quality wines that combine generations of refined expertise with the fertility of Alentejo's sun-blessed soil. The "Segredos" or secrets in the wine's name reflects this cherished heritage of fine winemaking.

The wine's richness and fruitiness make it an excellent match for the Christmas table, for example alongside ham.

Velvety Smooth Christmas Wine

Casa Charlize Passonata Cuvée Forte is full-bodied and rich, yet approachable, flavorful, velvety in tannins and downright gentle in all its abundance.

The wine deserves a large, upward-tapering stemmed glass that does justice to its aroma. The nose then easily picks up sweet cherry jam, boysenberry, blackcurrant, cinnamon, leather and dark chocolate from the wine.

The wine's juicy, jammy flavor is perfect for complementing the flavors of Christmas table delicacies.

For the Christmas Fish Table

The dry Wolfberger Riesling is an excellent match for the Christmas fish table. This wine has crisp acidity and gentle fruitiness. You can taste citrus aromas in the wine that perfectly complement the flavors and saltiness of fish dishes.

Wolfberger's over century-old cooperative is one of France's largest wine producers and the largest in Alsace.

Full-Bodied Atmosphere for the Christmas Table

Velvety smooth and full-bodied Aroa Jauna is an excellent choice for enjoying both on its own and with the Christmas meal.

Aroa Jauna will positively surprise even quality-conscious wine enthusiasts! The wine won gold in the Wines of the Year 2025 competition in the organic red wines under €15 category.

Light the candles and pour a glass of full-bodied and velvety smooth Aroa Jauna.

Crisp White Wine for Christmas

Grab this crisp and juicy organic wine to enjoy with Christmas fish or turkey. It's also excellent as a social drink.

Crudo Catarratto-Zibibbo comes from sunny Sicily, where the grapes get plenty of warmth and the wine becomes richly fruity.

This fruity white wine works wonderfully as a food wine throughout the meal, all the way to dessert cheeses.
