Which wine - whites

Riesling can be enjoyed by itself or with spicy vegetable dishes, so that the spicy dish is balanced with something a little sweet and refreshing, try a German Gewurztraminer.

For extra special Mondays celebrate with a light-bodied Champagne to accompany delicate flavoured vegetables or a stir-fry.

For those cold, wet, dark evenings enjoy some true comfort food such as a rich pasta dish made with cream and cheese complemented by a chilled fresh, young chardonnay.

For those long summer evenings whip up a light egg based dish such as a quick Spanish tortilla or vegetable quiche. Serve with a refreshing, chilled glass of sauvignon blanc – ah bliss!
