However, you often find yourself wondering what drink to serve this time. <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meat dishes pair wonderfully with various full-bodied and rich red wines, such as the red wines from the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/tuotehaku\/?fwp_hakusana=Baron%20de%20ley%20reserva&amp;fwp_alakategoria=punaviinit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Baron De Ley<\/a><\/strong> family. Another excellent choice to accompany meats is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/viini\/louis-jadot-couvent-des-jacobins-bourgogne-pinot-noir\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Louis Jadot Pinot Noir<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For starters, such as asparagus, a light, crisp Riesling works well. You&#8217;ll find tips for drinks to pair with asparagus, or other lighter dishes, <a href=\"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/viinivinkki-parsalle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong>.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A relaxed Easter meal can be followed by a casual game night, during which it&#8217;s nice to enjoy a glass or two of good wine and some snacks. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/viinin-kanssa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Here<\/a><\/strong> you&#8217;ll find tips for popcorn, salty licorice, and much more. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/rocky-road-ja-kupliva\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">This<\/a><\/strong> link also offers a tip for an amazing flavor combo of rocky road and sparkling wine!<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, celebrating with a group isn&#8217;t always an option, and spending Easter watching Netflix comfortably from your own couch corner might be the best choice. Easter can also be enjoyed nicely with your own group on a picnic, for example. In that case, it&#8217;s worth choosing drinks in packaging that won&#8217;t break. An option could be the crisp, fruity white wine from <a href=\"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/viini\/footmark-organic-white-muovipullo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Footmark<\/strong><\/a>, available in a convenient plastic bottle. If you prefer a full-bodied red wine, the <a href=\"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/viini\/atlantico-muovipullo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Atlantico<\/strong><\/a> plastic bottle is a good choice. Bag-in-box packages also work great for outdoor trips. For these, we recommend the crisp, fruity <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/viini\/crudo-catarratto-zibibbo-bib\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Crudo<\/a><\/strong> for white wine, and for red, <a href=\"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/viini\/katse-la-mirada-organic-tempranillo-syrah-hanapakkaus\/\"><b>La Mirada, or &#8220;Monkey Wine,&#8221;<\/b><\/a> works excellently.      <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking of Easter. Did you know that the world&#8217;s largest Easter egg ever made was created in Italy in 2011 and was over 10 meters tall and weighed a whopping 7,200 kg? That&#8217;s taller than a giraffe and heavier than an elephant!  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"632\" height=\"811\" class=\"wp-image-2389\" src=\"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/valmis-632x811.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/valmis-632x811.jpg 632w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/valmis-234x300.jpg 234w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/valmis-462x593.jpg 462w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/valmis-414x531.jpg 414w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/valmis-460x590.jpg 460w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/valmis.jpg 748w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 632px) 100vw, 632px\" alt=\"Crudo\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During Easter, tables are traditionally set with succulent lamb, mutton, or other meats.
