Thanks to the Fresh Choice Nelson wine expert, Neil Hodgson for this week’s blog. It’s time to start thinking about how you’re going to celebrate the season in Nelson, and Neil has your guide to champagne and sparkling wine… Take it away Neil.
It is time to celebrate Christmas in Nelson, the end of the year, the promise of good things in the new year and of course, celebrate the fact that we have family and friends to share good times with. So, it is time to take advantage of some fantastic deals The Grocer at Fresh Choice Nelson has on Champagne & sparkling wine.
Wine companies know we all love to celebrate and party at this time of year, so they roll out some excellent bargains. The Grocer at Fresh Choice Nelson makes sure he has the best possible prices for you. He also makes sure there are some premium Champagnes for you as well.
Not everybody’s budget runs to spending $200 on a bottle of wine, but there are some outstanding Champagnes and sparkling wines to suit every budget.
As you may know by now, I am of the belief that you should drink less but drink better. So, I say spend a little more money on one or two bottles and enjoy the delights decent champagne and sparkling wine offer.
The Grocer and his wine elves have a range of premium French Champagnes and outstanding New Zealand sparkling wines, all on promotion to help you celebrate no matter what your budget is.
Sparkling Wines
New Zealand sparkling wines offer incredible value for money with highly regarded wines like Twin Islands for $19.99 on promotion, a saving of $8. Or, enjoy a real treat from New Zealand\’s original master of sparkling wine, Daniel Le Brun, with the No.1 Family Estate Assemble for $28.99, a saving of $5.
Champagne
The Grocer also has Champagne brands like Piper-Heidsieck, GH Mumm, Moet Chandon and Tattinger. For between $50 and $95 a bottle. If you want to try something very special, then he has a new range of ultra-premium Champagnes like the beautiful Bollinger Rose for $149, a saving of $20. Or maybe the Laurent-Perrier Cuvee Rose in a delightful cage just waiting for someone to release it, $159, a saving of $90.
However you celebrate this Christmas and New Year make sure you do it with quality bubbles shared with family and friends, and most importantly be happy and safe.
