Here’s the WineNews Advent Calendar: it isn’t a ranking, rather, our followers’ choices

Christmas 2025 will be remarkable also because the Advent Calendar has transitioned from a niche phenomenon to a mainstream trend. There are now hundreds of brands selling the thrill of opening boxes, one each day, until December 24th, and finding chocolates or wine, tea or mini spirits. WineNews wanted to play this trend, too, offering its own personal Advent Calendar, which will be published every day on Instagram. Each day, there will be a Story featuring a bottle of wine, strictly Made in Italy. The wines do not come from the usual rankings, but rather they are the choices of our followers. The 24 wines on the Calendar are the ones most clicked in 2025, by the more than 55.000 followers @WineNewsIt.
Calendar are the ones most clicked in 2025, by the more than 55.000 followers @WineNewsIt. The WineNews staff of experts reviews more than 730 wines that are compiled and published annually, through I Quaderni di WineNews (notes on wine criticism) and I Vini di WineNews (wines tasted around the world, at events, or directly at the wineries), and a selection of 5.000 tastings each year. The followers have chosen their favorites through Likes or positive comments. The list includes excellent Tuscan wines, renowned Piedmont wines, and famous wines from the South and North. It is a little journey that will accompany us until Christmas Day. Of course, during the holiday season, bubbles couldn’t be missing. That is why we wanted to discover, with you, the 5 most clicked ones in 2025 on Instagram by @WineNewsIt.
There is a varied selection of wines, from whites to reds, including bubbles, which are perfect for toasting on the many occasions and events during this special month, paired with the great dishes of traditional Italian cuisine, or the most innovative cuisine.
