DINAYEN'S ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT CO,.LTD

A much merrier December than last year is in prospect. And what says good cheer better than a glass of good wine? So let’s get our wine stocks ready now. Merchants are advising that you buy early to secure the wines you want. And given the number of times I had to rewrite this list because shipments had failed to arrive and stocks had run out, that’s advice I support.

Whether you're looking to drink it or cook with it, it's advisable to stock up your wine racks now. From cheap and cheerful options to bottle that are saved to be savoured, 'tis the season to be merry and why not celebrate with a glass?

If you’re looking for an easy way to try good wines at around £12 a bottle, I’ve put together a case available to subscribers. It can be ordered through the Offers section on Telegraph Extra and all the wines in it are up to the standard of those on these pages. It costs £145 for 12 bottles and comprises 10 different wines, from seven different merchants.
