We thought it would be great to feature the best wines and spirits to match with chocolate. Whether they are chocolate flavoured or they go very well with chocolate, we have selected a few wines, spirits and gift sets to enjoy this week with indulgent treats!

Our expert, Angela Mount, loves it! As its name suggests, it displays aromas of dark chocolate and mocha which makes it an intense and rich red wine.

Chocolate flavoured wine! This fortified wine from Spain is made with Tempranillo grapes and infused with chocolate essence. In two words: nom nom!
