What are the best wines to drink in winter?

Winter is the season where wine naturally shifts towards styles with more body, texture, and depth. Cooler weather and richer meals call for wines that feel a little more warming and satisfying in the glass.

Full-bodied reds like Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon are popular choices, especially with slow-cooked dishes, roast meats, and hearty pastas.

Medium-bodied reds can also work well if you prefer something smoother and easier to drink.

White wines still have a place in winter, particularly styles with more weight and richness. Fuller Chardonnay, for example, pairs beautifully with comforting meals and creamy dishes.

Choosing the right winter wine often comes down to what you’re eating and how you like your wine. Whether you prefer bold, smooth, or something in between, there’s a winter wine for the occasion.
