Founded in 1940 by Richard and Maurice McDonald, McDonalds has become the largest burger chain in the world, serving more than 58 million customers daily in 119 countries and have over 1.5 million employees. This is a big restaurant company, yet they don't have a winelist. Until today.
The simplest of all the burgers and for this you want something simple, mellow and with not a huge amount of character. A £5 Chilean Merlot would do the job quite nicely.
Anakena Merlot £5.00-£6.49 (Independent Merchants)
Carta Vieja Merlot £4.99 (Oddbins)
and for a special occasion...
Concha y Toro Winemakers Lot 10 Merlot £8.99 (Oddbins)
Again, stick with the Chilean Merlot. Adding cheese to a burger isn't going to change things that much!

The signature dish from McDonalds justifies it being worthy of something special, and therefore a little more expensive. Rhone wines should go pretty well with this burger, but a claret may too.
Paul Mas Cabernet Sauvignon £6.99-£7.99 (Majestic & Luvians)
Paul Jaboulet Aine Parallele 45 Rouge £8.99 (Widely available)
and for a special occasion...
Chateau Tour St Bonnet 2005 £10.99 (Independent Merchants)
For those of you who want something healthier, the Filet-o-Fish offers you the chance to venture into trying a white wine. Chardonnay should go pretty well with this.
Snake Creek Chardonnay Semillon £4.99 (Oddbins)
Hellfire Bay Chardonnay £6.99 (Independent Merchants)
and for a special occasion...
Chablis Alain Geoffroy £12.99 (Oddbins)
Only served until 11am, it means that any wine pairing has to be light, and low alcohol, yet with acidity and some element to match the herby element of the sausage.
