The survey also asked people on their favourite food and wine pairings, finding that mince pies and mulled wine topped the list, with 25 per cent. Second was the pairing of Buck’s Fizz with scrambled eggs and salmon, with 7 per cent.
Favourite Christmas drinks also vary with age, the poll found. Champagne is the favourite of those under 25, while 25-54 year olds prefer Irish cream liqueur. In the 55+ age group, red wine came out on top.
