On the seventh day of Christmas, suddenly, we realized we are speeding towards Christmas. And what on earth should you be drinking with your turkey? That's not your Cabernet Sauvignon. You need to be looking for a lighter style of wine. I recommend Gamay, which is from the, Burgundy region, Pinot Noir, something lighter and fresher to be drinking, and chuck it in the fridge for twenty minutes before you serve it. It needs to be cooled down slightly. Enjoy. You can pick this up in Tesco's for £15.
