Elevate Your Easter Sunday Meal

Easter Sunday is a time of joy, renewal, and gathering around the table with loved ones. This year, let Winerack take the guesswork out of your wine pairings, turning your Easter meal into an effortless yet unforgettable experience. Our selection of featured wines is perfectly suited to complement the traditional flavours of Easter, with pairings simple enough for any home chef to master.

Moet et Chandon Brut Rose with Smoked Salmon Blinis Kick off your Easter Sunday with a touch of elegance. The Moet et Chandon Brut Rose, with its fine bubbles and notes of red berries, pairs beautifully with smoked salmon blinis. This simple yet sophisticated appetiser is easy to prepare, and the vibrant acidity of the champagne cuts through the richness of the salmon, setting the tone for a memorable meal.

Miguel Torres Santa Digna Carmenere with Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb An Easter meal often features lamb, and the Miguel Torres Santa Digna Carmenere is a match made in heaven for this traditional dish. The wine’s deep berry flavours and hint of spice beautifully complement the herbaceous crust of a rack of lamb. Roast some new potatoes and spring vegetables tossed in olive oil and herbs for a side that harmonises with the earthy notes of the Carmenere.

Louis Jadot Chablis with Grilled Asparagus and Poached Egg For a lighter touch to your Easter meal, the crisp and mineral Louis Jadot Chablis pairs excellently with grilled asparagus topped with a softly poached egg. This pairing is simplicity at its best, with the wine’s acidity highlighting the freshness of the asparagus and the richness of the egg creating a delightful contrast with the Chablis’ clean finish.

Charles Mignon Brut with Easter Roast Chicken A classic Easter roast chicken, seasoned with lemon, garlic, and thyme, calls for a wine that complements its juicy, savoury flavours without overpowering them. The Charles Mignon Brut, with its delicate bubbles and balanced palate, is an ideal choice. This pairing brings the meal together, with the wine’s freshness accentuating the chicken’s roast flavours and the herbs’ aromatic qualities.

Dessert Wine Pairing: Serving Suggestion While our focus is on the Easter meal’s main courses and starters, don’t forget to explore Wine Rack’s selection for the perfect dessert wines. A light, fruity dessert such as a lemon tart or fresh berry pavlova would be beautifully complemented by any of our lighter, sweeter wine selections.

New Spirits on the Block
This spring, Wine Rack introduces exciting additions to our spirits collection. The Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind, new in store, is a vibrant choice for creating innovative cocktails that will ignite your taste buds. Meanwhile, Ciroc Summer Citrus and Tropical Passion offer a hint of summer with every sip, ideal for early spring gatherings or as refreshing gifts.


This spring, Wine Rack brings you the Mai Tai as our cocktail of the month, perfectly blending the boldness of Kraken Rum with the zesty sweetness of Cointreau. This classic cocktail, loved for its fruity and tangy taste, is a celebration of the season’s vibrant flavours.

The Mai Tai combines Kraken Rum’s spicy undertones and Cointreau’s orange liqueur richness to create a refreshing and visually appealing drink. Ideal for the longer, sunnier days ahead, this cocktail is a testament to the art of mixology and the joy of spring.

Birra Moretti and Peroni: A Taste of Italy
