Christmas dinner & holidays
What wine with Christmas dinner?
Christmas dinner brings richer sauces, multiple courses and tables where everyone chooses something different. SommelierX calculates which wine styles fit each course — or finds one wine for the entire table — and explains why in plain language. Built on seventeen years of WineStein wine-and-food knowledge developed with scientists and professional sommeliers (more than 500,000 users and 400+ shops and restaurants in the WineStein era). No crowd ratings, just flavour profiles compared side by side.

Three Christmas table moments, solved
Whether you already know your menu, have guests eating different dishes around one table, or want to build dinner around a special bottle from your cellar.
2. One wine for the whole table
When one guest chooses venison, another chooses salmon and a third chooses roasted vegetables, Group Pairing calculates a single wine that brings the whole Christmas table together.
3. Start from a special bottle
Saved a bottle for Christmas or received one as a gift? Scan the label or pick from your cellar to see which holiday dishes bring out the wine’s character.

De Straat-Sommelier at the Christmas table
Two ways to use calculated wine advice: start from the festive main course on your plate or start from a special bottle in your cellar.
Beef Wellington & Pauillac Bordeaux AOC (98%) vs. Sweet Mulled Wine (28%)
Tender beef fillet in puff pastry with mushroom duxelles calls for the structure and cedar depth of Pauillac Bordeaux AOC (98% match) — not sweet mulled wine (28%).
Scan your dish. SommelierX calculates the wine.
Barolo DOCG & Venison steak with truffle jus (96%) vs. Pepperoni Pizza (31%)
A structured Barolo DOCG with firm tannins and earthy complexity shines alongside venison steak with truffle jus (96% match) — not spicy pepperoni pizza (31%).
Scan your wine. SommelierX calculates the dish.
