Winter tyres - confused as to the best choice and how to select one from another. Can you help?

For the first time I am fitting winter tyres and am confused as to the best choice and how to select one from another. What Winter tyres do you recommend for a 2002 Jaguar Sovereign and why? Current size 220 60 16.

I recommend Michelin Cross Climate all weather tyres, but they aren't available in that size, so Michelin Alpin full winter tyres or check Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons Gen 2, Vredestein Quatrac, Nokian Weatherproof and Pirelli Scorpion Verde all weather tyres. Sorry I can't search the sizes for you.
