Thanksgiving Wine! The Best Wines for Thanksgiving 2022
"What are the best wines for Thanksgiving?" It's a question we get asked a lot. The great thing is that there's no one perfect wine -- there are lots of picks that will do the job, but pairing a wine with turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy and more is no easy task either.
In this list we gather some of our very favorite Thanksgiving wines from over the last few years. We cover everything from the obvious (Pinot Noir and Riesling) to the not so obvious (Rosé, Sangiovese and Tempranillo) to the mostly unknown (Cinsault and Zweigelt). From reds to whites to rosés to sparkling wines to even a few dessert wines we highlight the wines that should be gracing your table in our best Thanksgiving wines list.
Thanksgiving is also a great time to splurge on an over $20 wine if you are so inclined. While our list is jam-packed with under $20 picks, we've also included a number of our very favorites over $20. There's something for everyone here. And to make things even easier, instead of scrolling through the list below you can simply sign up for our free special report detailing all our favorites.
In addition, we've tried to include wines from all of the top retailers (like Costco, Trader Joe's and Aldi) as well as those widely available bottles that should be able to be found just about anywhere.
Want our FREE report "The Best Wines For Thanksgiving 2022"?
One last note before you dive into our recommendations - always remember rule #2 of our Ten Tenets of Reverse Wine Snobbery. If Moscato or good old Cabernet makes you happy, don't worry if it's not on our list, drink what you like (especially on Thanksgiving)!
Read on for our list of The Best Thanksgiving Wines!
