Thresher is removing Champagne from their ever-lasting 3 for 2 deal. Sparkling wines too, can no longer be brought as part of the offer. Customers buying three bottles of either will receive 20% off instead.
Selfridge’s is opening a 2,000 square foot fine wine and spirits shop in their Oxford Street store. A ‘Wonder Bar’ will also be opened offering 50 wines via a self-service wine jukebox.
Pundits are pushing for Prosecco, pink Pinot Grigio and Perry (pear cider) as this summers hot tips. Magners with ice should continue its mammoth success from last year and maybe Stormhoek’s Couture, a rosé designed to be served with ice, will also ‘make it big’. Gallo is jumping into the iced pool with an initiative in bars and clubs to drink its White Grenache and White Zinfandel with ice. Might just make the sickly stuff half-way palatable!
Wonder what the “wonder bar” will look like?!
