If you have placed an order as a gift, we recommend sharing the tracking information with the recipient so that they can follow the delivery and check any instructions provided by the carrier.

THE PRODUCT

How do I choose a wine to suit my tastes?

Choosing a wine is first and foremost a matter of personal preference. Several factors can help you find a wine that suits you, including the colour of the wine, its grape variety, its region of origin, as well as its intensity, freshness, fruitiness or oak character.

If you enjoy light, fruity wines, you may prefer fresh and easy-drinking styles. If you are looking for something with more power and character, consider fuller-bodied, more structured wines.

At Nicolas, you can also explore our selections or ask one of our wine experts for advice to help you find a wine that matches your tastes.

Which wine should I choose to pair with a dish?

A well-matched wine can bring out the best in both the wine and the food. When choosing a wine, consider the flavours, intensity and texture of the dish.

Whether you are serving red meat, fish, seafood, cheese, spicy food or dessert, there are different wine styles that can complement each dish.

Explore our food and wine pairing advice on Nicolas to find inspiration and choose a wine to complement your meal.

How do I choose a good wine on a budget within 20€?

You don't need to spend a lot to find a wine you enjoy. The price of a wine depends on a number of factors, including its appellation, region of origin, vintage and production methods.

At Nicolas, our wine experts select wines across a range of price points, so you can find a bottle that suits both your budget and the occasion.

You can also explore our promotions selection, featuring accessible wines selected by our wine experts.

Which wine or Champagne should I give as a gift?

A bottle of wine or Champagne can make a thoughtful gift for many occasions, from birthdays and dinner invitations to celebrations, thank-yous or simply as a way to treat someone.

If you know the recipient's tastes, you can choose a region, appellation or style of wine they already enjoy. If you are unsure of their preferences, choose a versatile bottle that is well suited to sharing and to the occasion.

You can also ask one of our wine experts for advice to help you find a bottle suited to your budget and to the person you are buying for.

How do I choose a Champagne?

When choosing a Champagne, several factors can help guide you, including its style, dosage, grape varieties, the brand, and the occasion for which you are buying it.

Whether you are looking for a Champagne for an aperitif, a meal or a gift, your choice may vary depending on the occasion. Your personal preferences also matter: some Champagnes are characterised by freshness and finesse, while others offer greater richness and structure.

Explore our Champagne selection on Nicolas or ask one of our wine experts for advice to find a bottle that suits your tastes and the occasion.

Which wine should I choose if I don't know my guests' tastes?

If you don't know your guests' preferences, choose a wine that is accessible and easy to enjoy, while also taking the meal and occasion into account.

For a dinner, you could offer different styles of wine to suit a range of tastes: a smooth, fruity red wine, a fresh white wine or a rosé, depending on the menu and the season.

You can also choose a bottle from a well-known appellation or wine region, which can be a reliable choice when entertaining guests.

If you're unsure, our wine experts are available to help you choose a wine that suits your meal, your guests and your budget.
