Tesco snacks and wine for your World Cup finals screening party
Enjoy the climax of the World Cup with party pieces from FairPrice
The most anticipated match of the 2018 Fifa World Cup is around the corner, with only three days left before the final.
Expect your favourite bars, eateries and community centres to be crowded with fans, all hoping to score good seats and deals.
Local supermarket chain FairPrice offers a wide range of fancy snacks for a private World Cup screening party of your own.
No party is complete without some alcohol. But instead of chugging beer, treat yourself to a healthier alternative.
Packed with antioxidants and vitamins not usually found in alcoholic beverages, wine reduces the risk of heart attacks, heart disease and strokes.
With a variety of Tesco Finest wines to choose from at FairPrice, your party can become much more classy.
From the award-winning Baron de Ley winery, the Tesco Finest Rioja Reserva ($30.50, 750ml) won gold at the International Wine Challenge Awards 2017 and was also voted best value red wine.
Produced from hand-harvested Tempranillo grapes and carefully aged in fine oak barrels for 18 months, the Rioja Reserva is rich and has powerful aromas of raspberry with vanilla spice, and is best served with roast lamb or beef.
Fans of white wine can check out the Tesco Finest Gavi ($33.30, 750ml) made from the Cortese grape, a refreshing wine with bright, citrus and orange blossom flavours with a long finish.
Like the Gavi, the floral Tesco Finest Prosecco DOC ($32.90, 750ml) from Italy's Valdobbiadene region in the hills above Treviso also makes for a great aperitif.
Pair your wines with some delicious chocolates from FairPrice.
Tesco Chocolate Bars ($3.05, 100g) offer a wide selection of flavours to choose from, such as dark chocolate with mint oil or milk chocolate with caramel flakes and sea salt.
A powerful source of antioxidants and protective against heart disease, dark chocolate has many other health benefits that you may not know about.
Although it contains less sugar than regular chocolate, dark chocolate tastes just as great, making it the perfect snack for your World Cup screening party.
For those with a sweet tooth, the Tesco milk chocolate with pieces of chopped crunchy Italian hazelnuts ($3.05, 100g) is a delicious alternative and is also suitable for vegetarians.
If you're thinking about including some savoury finger foods, opt for the Tesco Chicken Style Nuggets ($6.95, 320g).
These meat-free nuggets are suitable for vegetarians as they are made from soya and wheat protein.
It takes only 15 minutes to prepare the nuggets, making them perfect for the halftime break.
End your night with some creamy, delicious cheesecakes.
The Tesco New York Cheesecake ($8.95, 450g) is a creamy vanilla flavoured cheesecake with a digestive biscuit base.
The Tesco Strawberry Cheesecake ($8.95, 500g) is also a baked cheesecake on a digestive biscuit base, but it is topped with strawberries in strawberry sauce.
If cheesecakes aren't your preference, the Tesco Apple Strudel ($6.95, 600g) is also a tasty dessert.
Filled with apple chunks and sultanas and wrapped in a light puff pastry case, the apple strudels are a treat the whole family can enjoy.
A wide range of products like baking needs, cooking sauces, snacks, wine and frozen food will be on promotion during the Tesco Fair, from tomorrow until Aug 2 - giving you more than enough time to stock up for your World Cup screening party.
