December is the month when bottles aren't stored away, they're opened. Tables get longer, toasts multiply, and wine takes center stage.
But... what wine should you bring to dinner? Which one can you give as a gift without fear of failure?
From BACO, we give you some ideas so you can choose well and enjoy these holidays even more.
To start things off right: an elegant and versatile sparkling wine
It doesn't have to be French champagne for a sparkling wine to leave its mark.
There are national cavas and sparkling wines that combine freshness, fine bubbles, and balance.
Ideal as an aperitif, for a toast, or even to accompany the entire meal.
We recommend:
🎁 The perfect gift for the one who always arrives first (and stays until the end).
For seafood or fish dinners: a white with character
Whites are also for winter.
A good Godello, a serious Albariño, or a barrel-aged Rioja white can elevate any dish.
Look for wines with balanced acidity and some volume on the palate.
We recommend:
🎁 Perfect for the one who always prepares the appetizers or loves the sea.
For Grandpa's roast: a classic full-bodied red
When it's time for lamb, suckling pig, or that roast that smells of childhood, it's time to bring out the big guns.
Here, a Rioja Reserva, a powerful Ribera, or an old-vine red makes all the difference.
We recommend:
🎁 Ideal for sharing with someone who cooks with time and a lot of love.
For the modern ones at the table: a surprising and different wine
Is there someone in your family who always asks for “something different”?
Bring them an Atlantic red, a well-made natural wine, or a high-altitude Garnacha.
Small wineries, lesser-known regions, labels that spark conversation.
We recommend:
🎁 For that foodie friend who knows it all… or almost.
Don't get confused. At BACO, we prepare ready-to-gift packs:
wine + vermouth + gourmet detail, with options for all tastes.
This holiday season, don't show up with just any wine.
Present a good wine, one that's opened with excitement, drunk slowly, and remembered afterwards.
We await you at BACO to help you choose.
