There is an event about to happen in the city of Melbourne, Australia. Apparently, it “stops the nation”. It involves a score or more horses running around a track for a couple of miles with the fastest one crowned the winner. For those who don’t know, it is called the Melbourne Cup. Now, I am not interested in horse racing or betting on horse racing. However, what I have noticed on the news and in the print media is those that attend these events tend to wear pretty fancy head gear and drink a lot of sparkling wines. If you can’t get to the racecourse and intend watching the Melbourne Cup from the comfort of your lounge room, don your most precious hat, hunt down a bottle of this tasty bubbles and cheer to your hearts content.

Looking for something flavoursome, fun and full of frivolity on Melbourne Cup day? Get your mits around a glass of this delightfully easy drinking sparkling wine and you’ll find yourself with a glass in one hand and the bottle in the other…drinking responsibly of course. And, on that note, you are definitely on a winner right here and all you have to do is get the cork out of the top of it, pour it into your glass, sit back, and watch the day go by. It’s that type of sparkling wine. Easy!
