When the grill’s fired up and the afternoon’s looking dangerously social, you need wines that can keep pace. So we’ve pulled together three crowd‑pleasers. Bright, bubbly, and bold enough to stand up to whatever you’re throwing over the coals.

Zonin Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2022
Juicy, plush, and gloriously food‑friendly. Think dark cherries, soft spice, and that easy Italian swagger that makes it perfect with anything smoky, saucy, or charred to perfection.

JK14 Ombra de Vin Prosecco Brut DOC
Crisp, lively, and ready to get the party started. Fresh pear, citrus lift, and fine bubbles that cut through rich BBQ flavours like a charm. The ultimate “someone top me up” wine.

Maxim Honour Amongst Thieves Chenin Blanc 2022
Bright, textured, and quietly complex. Stone fruit, lemon zest, and a mineral snap that loves grilled chicken, seafood, and anything with a squeeze of lime.

Three bottles. Three reasons to keep the tongs in one hand and a glass in the other.
