There’s a lot you can pick’n’mix around Christmas, but advent calendars are a festive essential - can you really imagine starting December without one?
While you may have grown up tearing into a box filled with bite-sized pieces of chocolate, it’s time to update this particular tradition to chime with more grown-up tastes.
I speak, of course, of the wine-filled Advent Calendar.
Just as you can now get boxes packed with the latest and greatest in beauty or find advents to feed your DIY addiction, wine-lovers can indulge in a selection of different grapes every day until December 25.
For the third year running, wine connoisseur Naked Wines has brought back its Wine Advent Calendar, much to the delight of past customers. The reason for their joy? Well, each calendar holds 24 glass-sized servings of wine from some of the world’s best winemakers. The tasting selection spans everything from a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, to the perfect full-bodied red to enjoy come Christmas Eve. If you swear by the seasonal directive of ‘eat, drink and be merry’, who wouldn’t feel jolly with such a pre-Christmas purchase?
And if you’ve got misgivings about sipping wine as a daily treat, rest assured that each option measures just 125ml, so it’s enough to have a taste rather than a full session. Plus, nothing is stopping you from skipping a day or two to save for that stretch between Boxing Day and New Year when time seems to stand still. It’s all about drinking responsibly - yes, even at Christmas.
Plus, if there’s one or two flavours you adored, you can order the full bottle from Naked Wines to enjoy for Christmas lunch, New Year’s Eve or for celebrations later in 2026. It’s a great, commitment-free way to try a whole bunch of grapes instead of crossing your fingers and taking a chance on a bottle you may not love.
If you want one of Naked Wine’s advent calendars, you’ll need to move fast. Just 3500 of the premium designs have been made, so stocks are limited. Factor in the surprisingly affordable price - it costs £99.99 for all customers, not just Naked Wines members - and we can’t see supplies lasting for long.
Pre-order today for £10, and the company will charge the remaining £89.99 when your order ships in November.
