11 Great Bottles Of Wine To Serve At Thanksgiving

When you’re bringing wine to a party, the actual bottle matters just as much as what’s inside. This festive one was made in collaboration with accessories company BaubleBar. The bubbly inside is from one of Napa Valley’s most esteemed wineries.

If you typically go for white or rosé but feel like it’s only right to sip on red in the fall, this is the tipple for you. It’s light-bodied and goes well with turkey, cranberry sauce, and roasted veggies.

Thanksgiving foods are heavy, so even crisp, sparkling whites need a little body to stand up to them. This bottle from New Mexico has it.

The overwhelming note in most Gewurztraminer wines is spice. This one, from Oregon’s Rogue Valley, has aromas of cardamom.

Dark meat lovers will find a friend in Zinfandel, which is bold, rich, and often a bit higher in alcohol content than other varieties. This one clocks in at 15% ABV.

Winos think of Sancerre as the most elevated form of Sauvignon Blanc. It’s crisp, dry, and a good alternative to everyone’s go-to, Chardonnay, which is often too buttery for a rich Thanksgiving meal.

It’s often said that Barbera is Italy’s most food-friendly red wine. This bottle shines with roasted poultry and can be served at room temperature or slightly chilled.

Pinot noir is like the cousin that keeps the peace: It just puts everyone at ease. Sip one of California’s finest; it’s got notes of vanilla and spices.

Only close-minded people say rosé is just a summer drink. This bottle is bubbly, rich, and robust, so it holds up to hearty meals — like, say, turkey with 20 sides.

For those forever channeling Ina Garten, listen up: This bottle is her favorite to serve at Thanksgiving because it’s light and perfect with turkey.

This is a mineral-forward white, and the winemakers suggest it pairs well with seafood, poultry, and white meat. So you can have it with the bird or your oyster stuffing.
