This is the first of our Christmas offers — a little early, I know, but a chance for you to stock up on pleasingly discounted bubbles for the festive season. It’s a very flexible offer from Armit of Notting Hill — you can buy most of the wines by the half-dozen, or acquire our two tasting cases: the Luxury and the Grand Luxe. The only requirement is that, for free delivery, you have to order at least a dozen bottles.

The Prosecco La Riva dei Frati NV1 is a delicious example of this plump, moussy, zestful and fruity wine, from the Prosecco grape, of course. It needs to be drunk this year, and will be perfect for parties on its own, as a Buck’s Fizz or as the classic Bellini with peach juice. Reduced by £1 a bottle to £8.35.

You would be hard put to tell the difference between a traditional champagne and the 1682 Brut NV from Steenberg in Constantia2.
