• Think about those invited
• You may think and even prefer a glass of white with the chosen joint of meat, but don’t forget that not everyone wants a crisp white grape (Rolle, Ugni Blanc, Clairette…).
• Remember there are endless choices
• The general rule of thumb for Provence wines is Rosé. However this is not true, Provence reds can be just as tempting and will warm up the party instantly. Red varieties include: Grenache, Cinsaut and Mourvèdre, and Cabernet Sauvignon
• Think about wine tasting
• It’s not tradition but why not introduce it? Buying several different wines from Provence can be an exciting way to discover new wines and encourage the festive spirit. Creating wine tasting cards can be fun too and it’s a great way to kick start any party.
• Treat yourself

Even though we did advise thinking about those invited, don’t forget to think about yourself too. If there is something that you particularly enjoy, then make sure you add it to your list. There is nothing better than a sip of your favourite nectar during the festive season.

And finally, if you really don’t know what to buy, you should choose a reputable e-commerce website such as Discoverwine (https://discoverwine.fr/en/). Discoverwine only sells the most reputable wines from Provence and other regions, direct from the suppliers. The advantages of using a well-known website is that the brand guarantees the quality of the chosen wine you will be serving for your festive celebrations.
