Wines: Your essential buying guide
Start with the occasion and food pairing. Red wines often suit richer dishes, white wines are useful for seafood, chicken and lighter meals, rosé wines work well for relaxed entertaining, and sparkling wines are a good choice for celebrations or aperitifs. If you are avoiding alcohol, compare non-alcoholic wines or sparkling teas instead.
Sparkling wine is the broad category for wines with bubbles. Prosecco, Cava and Crémant are specific sparkling styles with different regions, production methods and flavour profiles. Prosecco is often chosen for an easy-drinking party style, while Cava and Crémant can appeal if you want an alternative sparkling option.

When comparing these options, check whether the listing is positioned as wine-like, sparkling, tea-based or a direct alcohol-free alternative, as the flavour and serving style can vary.
