The Guardian suggests five white wines that suit the colder months, pairing them with autumn‑time foods and offering price guidance.

The article lists Albariño from Rías Baixas, a Godello from Valdeorras, a Ribeiro blend from Galicia, a Mosel Riesling, and a South African Chenin Blanc, noting their suitability for stews, curries and roasted dishes.
What the reports add
It highlights that Albariño is widely available in supermarkets, with Aldi’s Specially Selected version priced at £8.99. The Godello recommendation points to the Wine Society’s Exhibition range at £14.95. The Ribeiro blend is described as a “cool‑climate humdinger.” The Mosel Riesling, priced at £8, is praised for pairing with spicy take‑away meals. The Chenin Blanc, from David & Nadia, costs £29.58 and is noted for its eight‑vineyard blend and oak ageing.
What was said
The author writes, “I’m looking for whites that are like a good cardigan, at once coddling and breathable,” and adds, “if none of these appeal, just drink what you bloody like.”
How it came about
The piece follows a seasonal shift toward heartier meals, as noted in Felo’s recent autumn food features, and reflects a broader trend of choosing fuller‑bodied whites for cooler weather.
