Olga’s Wines for the Festive Season

Βy Olga Antoniadou

I can’t think of Christmas and New Year’s Eve without bottles of bubblies setting the mood for fun with family and friends. I also can’t think of the glow of the fireplace and the chilly days and nights without a glass of red wine. And, as Yiannis put it very nicely in his article Festive Bottles, we don’t need to put our hands too deep into our pockets to have lovely wine. Of course, one can dish on expensive Champagne bottles and cru wines, but most of us can hardly afford the luxury, and definitely not in many bottles. I don’t know about your friends and family, but mine stay for hours, drinking, joking, playing games, pantomime, singing carols and karaoke, laughing our hearts out at the talent shown. Wine fuels the jovial atmosphere and not just one bottle, so the price needs to be considered. On the other hand, it is Christmas, after all, so the wine can’t but be decent in the least.
