• The type of turkey you're serving. If you're serving a roasted turkey, you'll want to choose a wine with a bit of body to stand up to the richness of the meat. A full-bodied red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, would be a good choice.
• The flavors of the other dishes you're serving. If you're serving a traditional Thanksgiving meal with all the fixings, you'll want to choose a wine that will complement the flavors of the other dishes. A white wine with a bit of acidity, such as a Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc, would be a good choice.
• Your personal preferences. Ultimately, the best wine to pair with turkey is the one that you enjoy the most. So if you have a favorite wine, don't be afraid to serve it with your Thanksgiving dinner.
