Triple certified expert calls under £100 wine advent calendar 'the best around'

For the third consecutive year, Naked Wines is reintroducing its popular Wine Advent Calendar, which our triple-certified wine expert, Jada Jones, has hailed as 'the best wine advent calendar on the market'. The calendar is priced at £99.99, but can be reserved now for £10, with the balance to be settled later.

The calendar contains 24 glass-sized (125ml) servingsfrom independent winemakers worldwide, which Naked Wines describes as 'world-class'. Instead of traditional bottles, these wines are presented in small boxes with labels.

While we cannot guarantee it will be identical this year, the 2023 calendar also includes information about each wine, allowing customers to learn about what they are drinking. Jada revealed that she utilised this advent calendar to sample a broad range of wines during her post-class WSET training.

Wine advent calendars are not a new concept. They typically include bottles; for instance, Laithwaites' calendar is currently priced at £89.99 and includes 23 miniature bottles and a full-sized bottle of prosecco for Christmas Eve.

Good Pair Days is even pricier. They offer two calendars, each containing 12 full-sized bottles of wine, which may be more suitable for sharing, reports the Manchester Evening News. There's a £140 'Classic' option and a £240 'Fancy' calendar.

Naked Wines' advent calendar is a limited edition, with only 3,500 available this year. Each box contains just enough wine for a taste without overindulging, and if customers find a favourite, Naked Wines has made it easy to order a full bottle in time for Christmas dinner. The pre-order cost is £10 today, with the remaining £89.99 charged when the order ships in November.

There are currently no online reviews for this advent calendar, but Jada, who tried a previous version, said: "This is the best wine advent calendar on the market. I've never been so impressed with a variety pack and the box is small enough that I could tuck the white and roses in the fridge without worrying about fridge space.

"This is a great option for those learning about wine. The spines are labelled with the style of wine, from fruity or smooth reds to crisp whites. I think that's a really good way of making wine tasting more accessible as there are so many wines we might not ever try because we find the name intimidating without realising it's to our taste."
