The Perfect Sparkling Wines For An Open House

When visiting an open house, the retailer or estate agent’s aim is to portray the property in the perfect light, to convince the buyer that the house in which they are standing, is to become their new dream home.

Sometimes, just like a show home, the property is well furnished, looks pristine and entices you in, and on the high-end properties, normally north of a million, a display of light finger foods and refreshments can sometimes be enjoyed, this is the occasion where a bottle of bubbly, if chosen correctly, can be the perfect assistant in helping to relax your potential buyers and help them feel more at home.
