As we all get ready to prepare our food and wine pairings for the holiday dinner table, why not crack open a few bottles of wine early and celebrate those memorable holiday moments that we encounter each year.

Jackson-Triggs has cleverly paired their new Proprietors’ Selection wines with classic holiday moments to help get you through the Christmas chaos.

Whether it’s surviving the shopping mall crowds or celebrating your Boxing Day finds, the award-winning winery has recommendations to cater to your every mood this season.

Still filing through your holiday list? Try sipping a Merlot. The rich, smooth and approachable qualities of this easy-to-drink wine will help calm you down from all of the exhaustion.  

Have you just braved your way through the overcrowded shopping malls and parking lots? Settle down with a Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay. These intense and full-bodied wines will help you relax as you unpack your shopping bags.

Is your dog running rampant around the house, pulling down your Christmas tree or tearing down your shiny holiday decorations? Try a Shiraz or Malbec-Merlot. The spicy and robust qualities of these rich wines will help lighten your frustration so you can laugh those worries away.

Want to enjoy some quiet time underneath the mistletoe? Try a Vidal. The floral bouquet paired with fruity notes will bring out your romantic side as you sit by the fireplace.

Hosting a Boxing Day brunch or just bragging amongst friends about your latest shopping finds? Try a Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc. These light and fruity wines will bring out your social side, whether you’re entertaining a group or just chatting with friends and family.

Whatever you may face this holiday season, these Jackson-Triggs wine selections prove that when the winery says, “We’ve got a wine for that,” they truly mean it.

Jackson-Triggs Proprietors’ Selection wines, which include the brand’s new packaging and label, are available now in liquor stores across Canada.
