Fruit and flowery, an Italian bubbly with hints of apricot and dried fruit, and the high-shine silver bottle looks super fabulous. This is one of our tried & tested best, a real favourite among the G&G team (who are now spending their lunch break stocking up online!)
Villa Oppi , Vino Spumante, Extra Dry, £12.99, TheWineDrinker.co.uk
Who doesn’t love a crisp flute of Spumante (a more prominent sparkle than your regular Prosecco). This prestige Chardonnay-Pinot Nero blend has tiny refined bubbles and delicious hints of fresh apples, pears and spicy vanilla.
