Your essential Chrsitmas drinks list:

If you’re having a gang in during the run-up to Christmas or over those lazy days after the big day, hold back your big-gun wines and opt for bottles that are crowd-friendly in style, easy on the pocket and lighter in alcohol, depending on whether you’re serving food for soakage. Don’t forget to have something alcohol-free too.
