Win a case of Libertine - England’s sexiest sparkling wine!

Win a case of Libertine - England’s sexiest sparkling wine!

December’s prize is very much a personal pick - a champagne-style sparkling wine that not only looks different but tastes different too and I absolutely love it.

It’s a really fruity sparkling rosé made from grapes grown in Essex of all places, though Essex is apparently where it’s at for English grape growing being generally warmer and drier than the rest of the country. (They make some impressive chardonnay and pinot noir too.)

But actually it’s not so much how it’s made or even how it tastes but how it makes you feel, encapsulated by the name and label.

As Liam and John, the two Masters of Wine behind the project say “There’s a moment of joy that accompanies opening a bottle of fine sparkling wine. Great still wines are solemnly appraised, but sparkling wines demand the company of friends, partners, and lovers. Libertine is a celebration of these bonds of pleasure.

What I particularly like is that our winner will get take possession of the prize in January which is when you most need cheering up. And will have the perfect wine to hand for Valentine’s Day.

The closing date for the competition is 11.59pm GMT on January 2nd 2023 and you must live in the UK and be over 18 to enter.

If you fancy buying a bottle yourself in the meantime you can find it at the SW Bottle Shop in Tavistock and Red & White

Win a case of Hambledon Classic Cuvée Rosé

Win a case of Hambledon Classic Cuvée Rosé

After several months (feels like years!) of work we’re finally relaunching the website this week with a smart new look and what better way to celebrate than a bottle of bubbly? Not champagne, you may be surprised to hear, but one of my favourite English sparkling wines, Hambledon Classic Cuvée Rosé from Hampshire.

I visited the winery a couple of years ago and was really impressed by what they were doing so couldn’t think of a glass I’d rather share with you (or rather, our lucky winner, but you can go and buy one anyway, can’t you?*). It’s mainly chardonnay so the net effect is like strawberries and cream which is pretty irresistible I think you’ll agree. (Or Eton Mess, as the Wine Society suggests. Yum!)

All you have to do to enter the competition is register on the site (and subscribe, if you like, to our free monthly newsletter)

Given the nature of the prize, you must be 18 or over to enter and we can’t dispatch prizes to those of you who live outside the UK, I’m afraid.

The closing date for the competition is 11.59pm GMT on Sunday October 1st 2017. For other terms and conditions see below.
