At Christmas, Magnums can make a splash when you serve dinner, the wine keeps better in a Mag, the bottle looks impressive and there you cannot avoid a sense of occasion when you uncork it. Here we have three funky looking bottles with seriously drinkable wine. Col Fondo Prosecco is cloudy in appearance but very light, fresh and easy drinking. Sottoriva has great texture on the palate and the benefit of being under 50 mg/litre of sulphur. The big bottle of Pinot Blanc is delicious fruity white to suit all tastes, no oak, no weird flavours, just great textural wine with lovely aromas. The red is a real crwod pleaser, a Biodynamic wine made from Gamay and Cabernet France, picked late for ripe fruit character and smooth tannins, great for Christmas Turkey. Magnums look great, use less packaging and seem to last longer than a normal bottle. It's wise to upsize. UK delivery £6.95.
