As every week passes, we\u2019re drawing ever closer to the big day. Christmas is just over the horizon and we\u2019re sure that you\u2019re preparing for the rush that\u2019s going to come in just a few weeks\u2019 time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps you\u2019re the one who\u2019s responsible for cooking the Christmas meal this year. Or maybe you\u2019re planning on having a few friends around for a little party at some point during the festivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either way, you\u2019re going to need one thing\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italian wine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The festive spirit tends to dampen when there\u2019s no wine around, so you need to make sure that you have plenty in supply. But before you go searching for specific vintages, there\u2019s a key question that you need to answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you go for red or white Italian wine?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we\u2019re going to pit the two main types of wine against each other to see which one comes out on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italian Red Wine \u2013 It\u2019s Best for the Meal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The typical Christmas meal involves a lot of meats, veg, and rich foods. With so much going on, it\u2019s easy for a white wine to end up feeling a little lost in the mix. A beef gravy, for example, is quickly going to drown out any white wines that you might think of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need something with a little more richness and complexity, which is where red wines come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A red wine isn\u2019t going to get overwhelmed by the sheer variety of the foods that you\u2019re going to consume over Christmas. In fact, it\u2019s more likely to complement the flavours that you\u2019ll experience in the meals, especially when it comes to the rich desserts that so many love at Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italian White Wine \u2013 The Quick Refresher<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Just picture the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The huge meal is over and done with and everybody\u2019s lounging around. There\u2019s still plenty more of the day to enjoy but nobody seems to be able to drag themselves back onto their feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need a second wind and you\u2019re not going to get it from a red wine. The heaviness of red wines tend to relax you even more and you may find yourself slipping into sleep if you stick with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When everybody\u2019s energy is starting to flag, this is when white wines come to the rescue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A white wine typically offers a more refreshing and acidic taste than a red wine. And often, that\u2019s more than enough to shock your system back into active mode again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of that, white wines are lighter than their red counterparts. When you have a bellyful of food, you probably don\u2019t want to drink a heavier wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italian Red Wine \u2013 It May Just be Better for You<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a definite argument that red wine is better for you than white, particularly in regards to its antioxidant content. Some may point to this being a reason to choose red over white on a day when you\u2019re going to spend all of your time eating tons of unhealthy foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re not wholly convinced by this argument, especially as Christmas is generally a time for excess. You\u2019re probably going to drink a little more red wine than you normally would on this particular day. But then again, you\u2019d drink the same amount of white wine too. If you have to drink one of them to excess, perhaps it\u2019s best to go with the one that\u2019s probably the healthier of the too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italian White Wine \u2013 It\u2019s Great for Newbies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As shocking as it may be to you\u2026not everybody who comes to your Christmas meal is going to be a regular wine drinker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, you may barely be able to imagine a life without wine. But for many people out there, wine is a very occasional drink. Christmas is one of the few times when they may have a glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those people, a red wine probably isn\u2019t the best choice<\/a>. And to figure out why, just think back to your first taste of red wine. It probably came after you\u2019d tried white first, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s because white wines are generally more suitable for somebody who isn\u2019t a regular wine drinker. White wines are less complex and have a fruitier sensibility, without as many strange notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a wine newbie at the table, they\u2019re likely going to enjoy a white wine ahead of a red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italian Red Wine \u2013 A Tribute to Santa<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The jolly old present giver wears a red suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What better way to give your thanks to him than to drink a wine that\u2019s an even deeper red that the suit that Santa wears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, okay, you caught us. This isn\u2019t exactly the most serious reason for drinking red wine in the world. But having said that, red is a colour that\u2019s commonly associated with Christmas in many locations. It seems only fitting that you drink a wine that matches the colour of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See! There was a semi-serious point buried in there after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italian White Wine \u2013 The Bubbly!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Do you know what you\u2019re missing out on if you only have Italian red wine at the dinner table?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re missing the thrill of popping the cork on a bottle of sparkling wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like it or not, most sparkling wines are of the white variety and they\u2019re generally considered the drinks to have when you\u2019re celebrating. And with Christmas being a celebration of everything from religion through to your family, how can you not have a bottle of sparkling white on the table?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Final Word<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, which is the winner? Red or white?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The simple answer is both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why limit yourself to a certain type of wine during a season when you should want to sample everything. Having plenty of both types of wine means you have whatever you need for any mood that you might find yourself in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all seriousness, the only true answer is that you should buy whatever wine you prefer. After all, Christmas is a day for you and your family. That means enjoying what you enjoy, rather than what anybody tells you to enjoy.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
