12 wines worth staying in for this Winter

We’re well into winter now and there are usually two ways to enjoy the season; fully throw yourself into the many festive activities in the lead up to the holiday season or stay indoors to keep warm and cosy up.

Although with new coronavirus variants running rampant, there may not be a choice but to stay indoors again this year.

But it’s not all doom and gloom; a good bottle of wine has always had the ability to lift spirits and this year there’s plenty of high-quality wines available to choose from.

Red wines have traditionally ruled in winter months but this year, research shows it has competition from Rosés of all things.

But whatever your preference, the supermarkets have a great selection of winter wines for all tastes, and we’ve found 12 of the best that’ll make staying in worth it.
