Best wine advent calendars for Christmas 2020 to wine down to the festive season

It’s a time for goodwill to all men (and women) - and that includes the oenophiles amongst you. Wine lovers have more reason to celebrate this festive period, because we’ve run the numbers and there are more wine-filled advent calendars around this year than ever before.

While chocolate advent calendars have been a festive fixture since the early 90s, boozy ones are a relatively new innovation. Yet, they offer the same excitement and daily indulgence as its innocent predecessor.

You can get alcohol-spiked calendars for every taste, from gin to whisky. If you love nothing more than a chilled glass of wine at the day’s end though, what’s better than a wine advent calendar this December?

The aim isn’t to leave you more red-faced than Rudolf though; it’s about appreciating new wines from vineyards at home and abroad, and learning more about your favourite tipple.

Typically you’ll find a miniature bottle of wine hiding behind each of the 24 windows, and if you’re lucky, even a full sized bottle concealed behind window 25 to enjoy on Christmas Day. You can pick from all white, all red or mixed cases to widen your wine portfolio.

Whether you’re shopping for yourself or looking to put the fizz into someone else’s Christmas, shop the best wine advent calendars below.
