As the festive bells start ringing, M&S Singapore has brought the holiday spirit to life with a delightful series of Christmas wine and food pairing events at their flagship store at Wheelock Place. These exclusive gatherings showcased the finest M&S wines and holiday treats, offering an indulgent escape into the world of gourmet pairings.
A Toast to the Holidays
The events were hosted by none other than the accomplished wine educator Mickey Huang. With credentials as a certified sommelier and WSET-certified wine expert, Huang guided over 80 lucky attendees—media and influencers included—through an expertly curated menu of M&S award-winning wines and festive favourites. From crisp Chablis to luscious port, every sip told a story of exceptional quality and craft.
Guests were treated to an impressive selection of four distinguished wines, including the effervescent M&S Bellante Prosecco, the refined M&S Collection Saint Emilion Moueix, the crisp M&S Collection Chablis, and the indulgent M&S Late Bottled Vintage Port. Each wine was paired with carefully chosen festive bites to enhance the tasting experience. Highlights included:
- Juicy seedless grapes with the sparkling Bellante Prosecco.
- Cheddar Cheese Crispies and buttery shortbread paired with the classic Chablis.
- Decadent dark chocolate complementing the velvety Saint Emilion Moueix.
- Rich iced fruit cake paired to perfection with the sumptuous Late Bottled Vintage Port.
Cheese lovers were delighted with M&S’s classic Cheeseboard Favourites, featuring French Brie, Red Leicester, Mature Cheddar, and Blue Stilton, served as a versatile accompaniment to all the wines.
Mulled Wine Magic
As a festive special, M&S introduced their Red and White Mulled Wines, each infused with seasonal spices. While the Red Mulled Wine evoked cosy warmth with rich fruity notes, the White Mulled Wine charmed with hints of pear and vanilla—ideal for toasting to the season.
