5.00pm - 5.40pm
Sparkling Wines and Champagnes
Hosted by Susy Atkins
The great thing about the UK wine market is the widely available variety of sparkling wines from all over the world. Whether it is a Spanish cava, an Italian prosecco, a Californian sparkling, or a fizzy wine from down under, the quality of what is available, has significantly risen in the last five years. These modern sparklers are challenging the king of wine, Champagne, who is desperately fighting a rearguard action, in the battle for value for money.

This will be the last tasting of the Bristol Wine and Food Fair and I think it is only fitting that we go out not only in style but with an explosion of bubbles.
Definatly, not one to miss.
