Christmas feasts and wine go hand in hand. What better way to celebrate than with a glass of sparkling wine or a rich red wine? 

When buying your wines and spirits for your Christmas dinner, consider these tips:

• Opt for popular wines that are known crowd-pleasers.

• Create a diverse wine selection to give your guests a variety to choose from.

Ingredients:

50g butter, softened

2kg turkey crown on the bone

1 tsp Chinese five spice or a pinch of ground cloves

For the glaze

4 tbsp honey

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

How to make Easy Turkey Crown
