Christmas in New Zealand is often enjoyed in sunny weather, making it the perfect time for refreshing wines and festive feasts. Light, aromatic whites such as Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay are ideal with seafood and summer salads, while fuller-bodied reds like Pinot Noir and Shiraz pair wonderfully with glazed ham and roast dishes. Whether you’re celebrating with family or searching for a gift, our selection features expertly chosen New Zealand and international wines suited for the holiday season.

To guarantee your Christmas wine reaches you in time for the celebrations, it’s best to place your order at least two weeks before Christmas. Delivery times can fluctuate during the festive season, particularly to regional locations. Ordering early helps ensure your wines and gifts arrive safely and gives you peace of mind, so you can enjoy the holiday season without stress.

Our Christmas wine collection is carefully chosen by our team of experts, not by algorithms. Each bottle is hand-selected from award-winning wineries in New Zealand and around the world, from Marlborough’s Sauvignon Blancs to Bordeaux in France and Tuscany in Italy. Every Christmas case features premium wines to suit all festive occasions, whether it’s a relaxed backyard gathering or a sophisticated Christmas dinner.

Absolutely. Sending wine gifts at Christmas is a favourite festive tradition in New Zealand. You can select from our ready-made Christmas wine cases or create your own customised case. With secure packaging and reliable delivery across most New Zealand addresses, it’s easy to share the joy of exceptional wine this holiday season.

The ideal Christmas wine gift depends on the recipient’s preferences. For lovers of red wine, a rich New Zealand Pinot Noir or full-bodied Shiraz is sure to impress.
