Say cheers: Leslie Williams shares the ultimate Christmas drinks guide

Choosing the perfect wines this Christmas need not be complicated, says Leslie Williams

Don't panic about drinks and pick a couple of options if you are having guests

I adore Christmas, it is the one time of year when I feel relatively normal as most of the country is obsessing as much as I am over what food and drink to serve.

This is not a boast (I hope!), but I’ve cooked every Christmas dinner and chosen the matching drinks in our house since 1993. Some years were more successful than others, but at Christmas everyone is very forgiving so do not fret.
