The Perfect Red Wine for Any Celebration

If you're cooking a meal for a big celebration, like steak or a roast, you probably know that a strong shiraz or a classic cabernet sauvignon works best. These wines bring the perfect flavour to heavy, savoury dishes. But red wine is not only for winter or big meals. If you want something lighter to drink with a simple pasta or some cheese, a fruity grenache or a smooth pinot noir is a wonderful choice. (A helpful tip: put these lighter reds in the fridge for about 15 minutes before you drink them. It makes a big difference). It's also nice to try something different now and then. A Spanish tempranillo or an Italian sangiovese is great for pizza night, while an Argentinian malbec goes perfectly with a slow-cooked stew. If you aren't sure what to get, simply pick any of our red blends to get a good-tasting drink without worrying too much about the label. We have plenty of options ready for whatever you decide to drink tonight. You can buy your bottles online and have them delivered to your home or drop by your nearest local store for a quick 30-minute pick up*.
