There's one golden rule for matching a wine to your pudding or dessert: go for something sweeter than the dessert. But with so many possible combinations of dessert, you'll need a little more guidance than that. Here are our top tips.

Top Tips

  • Fortified Reds - most of us love chocolate and if you're having a very chocolaty dessert try a sweet fortified red or an Orange Muscat.

  • Champagne - fantastic with lighter meringue, gateaux and strawberry based desserts.

  • Pedro Ximénez - the sweetest style of Sherry and perfect drizzled over good Vanilla Ice Cream.

  • Sauternes and Muscat - great choices for a simple fruit tart.

  • Sparkling wine, Cava or Prosecco - fantastic with fruit or sorbet.
