Early winemakers used to let naturally occurring carbon dioxide escape from their wine, due to its tendency to make the bottles… um, explode. French fizz-makers who elected to keep the effervescence wore heavy iron masks to protect themselves from spontaneously bursting bottles. 

Critics called this delicious but dangerous drink “Le Vin du Diable” – The Devil’s Wine – probably cementing its mystique (the devil gets all the best beverages).

Learn what goes into this notorious nectar and taste 6 of our handcrafted favourites, including Prosecco from one-hundred-year-old vines AND the finest Blanc de Blancs grower champagne we’ve ever tasted.

And we taste a lot of champagne, guys. 

The line-up:

Ghisolana Rosato Spumante, Asolo, Treviso DOC, Italy
One of the most aristocratic Proseccos around. This is not just fruit-frivolous fizz.

Allimant Laugner Crémant d'Alsace, NV, Alsace, France
The Provence Rosé of sparkling. Delicate, darling and downright delicious. 

Ghisolana Prosecco, Asolo, Treviso DOC, Italy
This fun Prosecco is a sure-fire party starter packed with fruity flavour.

Llopart Reserva Cava Brut, 2013, Penedes, Spain
Still riddled by hand in Spain’s oldest boutique Cava house. 

Bartinney Noble Savage Methode Cap Classique, NV, Stellenbosch, South Africa
You brute! You savage! You… you… look, just ravish me already. Jeez.

Andre Bonhomme Crémant de Bourgogne, 2013, Burgundy, France
More toasty than a fire at a bakery, top bubbles from a Viré-Clessé legend.

Soutiran Blanc de Blancs, NV, Ambonnay, France
Sprinkle wild flower petals, crumbled fossils and grapefruit zest on the cold sea and jump in.


  • An expert-led tasting of 6 sparkling wines: all hand-picked by our passionate team.
  • Delicious nibbles and sharing plates to complement our sparkling selection.
  • Tasting notes to take away (bubbles+short-term memory = ????)
