The Perfect Sparkling Wines To Enjoy On Your Holidays
10th May 2022
A holiday can be the highlight of the year for some people, saving up to travel to an exotic faraway land or just travelling across your country to the seaside or mountain slopes.
Anywhere in the world can be your next destination, it’s fun going into a travel agent and picking up a couple of different booklets showing you the beauty of the world.
But once you get there, you of course need to pop open a bottle of Sparkling Wine to celebrate the beginning of your relaxation and exciting trip. So I’ve found the perfect bottle of Award Winning Sparkling Wine to celebrate with for each type of holiday.
Ski Slopes
Heading into the mountains, settling into your cabin and then putting on your skis, an abundance of snow and enjoyment awaits.
After you’ve finished a long day of activities in the snow, heading back to your cabin and sitting in front of an open fire would be the perfect way to warm you up, so I would recommend that you pack a Winter Warmer Sparkling Wine to pop open with the roaring flames.
Whether it be on the slopes of France, Switzerland or Italy, take with you a bottle of Fox & Fox – Mosaic 2015 from Sussex, England, the Trophy Winner in the Winter Warmer Category.

Hawaii Beach Resorts
Sun, Sand and Sparkling Wine, there are many locations that have golden sand beaches and clear blue water to pick from, so whether you go to Hawaii, Florida, The Maldives or Clacton-on-Sea, you’ll need to open a bottle of Tropical Burst Sparkling Wine.
When in the sun you typically want a fruity drink by your side, whether it be tropical, strawberries, raspberries or exotic fruits, so when searching for the perfect bottle of bubbly, this Croatian Sparkling Wine which was Trophy winner in the Tropical Burst category, is absolutely spot on, clenching your thirst, delivering a phenomenal flavour and also heightening the quality of any Tropical Cocktail.
