Christmas? Bah, humbug! But which wine to have ... ?

I do like the definition by Shaw of Christmas as 'a conspiracy kept up by poulterers and wine merchants', even if I do rather enjoy both roast turkey and a nice red wine to go with it.  We once experimented with a white Burgundy, as recommended in a Sunday newspaper.  The wine was expensive, we were recently married and not at the top of our salary scales.  It was a lovely wine, I seem to recall,  but whether it was the best match for the turkey or not is a moot point.  The guilt at buying something so expensive probably took the edge off the bouquet.  So what would the best match be?  I'm not entirely persuaded by the necessity for a white wine, as once suggested by pretty much every wine-guide, white wine with white meat and red wine with red meat and so on.  Although I am rather hoping my wife has bought a white Rioja I heard her talk about recently.  We will probably end up raiding the wine cellar and picking something more or less at random.  And by wine cellar I mean the downstairs bathroom that has no heating in it.  The only certainty is something fizzy to begin the day with and I have already embarked on a subliminal campaign to persuade our sons to buy something suitably fizzy.  We'll probably end up with sparkling mineral water ...
