Caviar Masterclass? Oh, if you insist… What would you eat caviar with? If, like us, you answered “a spoon” you probably also need this announcement. For National Caviar Day – yes, it’s a thing, go with it – Piccadilly’s Caviar House & Prunier are offering a Caviar Masterclass. Guests will receive a guided tasting of…
Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas add water to their wine. And it’s a good thing. Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas were, it says here, voted as “the world’s best underwater wine cellar and restaurant.” I mean… that’s not going to be a long list of candidates, is it? Saying that, it’s probably quite stiff competition so, er,…
Bottles of delicious alcoholic product sent to the Lusso office. What could possibly go wrong? Well, perhaps “wrong” is the, er, wrong word? Should we just go with “inevitable”? I mean, we had ALL the good intentions of giving you a lovely, detailed list of great things you could be drinking this Christmas. Seriously, it…
Through the unassuming entrance and down the gilded stairway, the dark mezzanine bar at Quaglino’s is the perfect setting for its Prohibition-themed afternoon Tea. The black trays delicately balanced on a gold frame offer a selection on classic tea-time favourites hop over to here. Think mini sandwiches, scones, berry tarts and macaroons. All to be…

We don’t have a pic of the actual £1.2 million bottle, but to get an idea take your usual Goût de Diamants Brut champagne (shown above, already not exactly your everyday supermarket variety) – and then…
Perhaps you’re already a fan of their award-wining Rose? Well, the delightful, family owned Champagne Billecart-Salmon also do a lovely Extra Brut. A wonderfully fresh no-added sugar champagne, the drink is perfect alongside food and friends. Making life easy when it comes to gift-buying and entertaining alike, Champagne Billecart-Salmon are launching a great little set…
As the TGV pulled up to Reims, Champagne, it didn’t look good. The damp and dreary weather reflected my mood, as for me a 5am alarm usually signifies the end of a long bar shift and the promise of a post-work cold one, as opposed to a day trip to France. Reims, located eighty miles…
Laurent-Perrier can always be relied upon to produce a top champagne and for this Christmas, they’ve bought out a limited Edition Grand Sicle with a stunning Cradle to make it that extra little bit special. The Cradle is dual-purpose and is made specifically for the Grand Sicle bottle. It’s handcrafted by traditional Loire Valley pewtersmiths…
