Christmas and rosé might not be the most traditional pairing, but at Folc, we believe our English rosé is the perfect choice for every part of your holiday celebration. Folc isn’t just a summer wine; it’s a wine that brings people together, which, of course, is what Christmas is all about. Whether it’s your morning canapés, Christmas dinner, or Boxing Day leftovers, Folc adds a joyful touch to the festive season. Let’s walk through Christmas Day with Folc by your side.
The Perfect Start: Smoked Salmon Canapés
Christmas mornings are all about easing into the day — a few light canapés to nibble on while the excitement builds. Smoked salmon, with its rich, tender texture and delicate savoury flavour, pairs effortlessly with a glass of Folc. The fresh acidity and bright fruit notes of the rosé cut through the richness of the salmon, balancing the flavours and refreshing the palate. It’s the perfect match to start a long day of celebration, with Folc’s refreshing character setting a warm and inviting tone for a day spent with loved ones.
A Festive Welcome Drink for Friends and Family
As guests arrive, there’s nothing quite like greeting them with a drink that feels celebratory yet approachable. Folc is the ideal welcome drink — it’s light, refreshing, and a great alternative to sparkling wine. Rosé brings a sense of ease and joy, making everyone feel instantly comfortable, whether it’s a large gathering or an intimate family affair. It’s the kind of drink that encourages conversation and brings people together — the essence of Christmas.
The Main Event: Folc and Turkey
At the heart of Christmas is the feast, and Folc is right at home on the dinner table. Whether you’re serving turkey, roast vegetables, or a range of festive sides, Folc’s versatility shines through. It balances the richness of the meal with a light, refreshing touch, never feeling heavy or overpowering. Rosé might not be the obvious choice for a traditional Christmas dinner, but that’s exactly why it works — it’s a fresh take on an old favourite, adding a new dimension to a much-loved meal.
Elevate the Cheeseboard with British Cheeses
When it’s time for the cheeseboard, Folc truly shines. Christmas is a time to celebrate local flavours, and pairing Folc with British cheeses creates a wonderful harmony of textures and tastes. Goat’s and ewe’s milk cheeses like Golden Cross, with their grassy and citrus notes, beautifully complement Folc’s bright acidity. Even a creamy blue cheese, such as Beauvale, surprises with how well it pairs — the saltiness of the cheese brings out the wine’s fruity character. For a truly indulgent experience, soft cow’s milk cheeses like Baron Bigod are a perfect match, as Folc’s acidity cuts through the richness. It’s the ideal balance of familiar flavours with an unexpected twist that keeps things interesting.
Boxing Day Leftovers
After the excitement of Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a more relaxed affair — a time for leftovers, catching up with family, and unwinding. Folc fits perfectly into this slower pace, pairing effortlessly with cold meats, sandwiches, or whatever else is left from the feast. It’s a wine that feels just right for a day that’s about comfort and simplicity, bringing a light, refreshing element to the table without any fuss.
Together in every glass
This Christmas, let Folc be part of your festive celebrations. Whether you’re welcoming friends, sitting down for the big meal, or enjoying the quiet moments of Boxing Day, Folc adds a lightness and joy to every occasion. After all, Christmas is about more than just food and drink — it’s about creating moments of togetherness, and Folc is here to make those moments shine.
