Veuve Clicquot Arrow packaging
Limited Edition Veuve Clicquot Arrow
This year Veuve Clicquot delighted all champagne enthusiasts by bringing back the Limited Edition Veuve Clicquot Arrow. The new Arrow box contains a bottle of Clicquot’s popular classic Yellow Label champagne bottle, presented with a new metallic finish. To make the gift extra special, the bottle can be personalised with a city of customer’s choice; the bottle then shows the exact distance between the chosen city and Reims, France, where Veuve Clicquot was founded back in 1772. What makes this drink truly festive is its glittering lid, which will brighten up any Christmas event.

Selection from Royal Salute blends
Royal Salute Blended Malt and Royal Salute Signature Blend
A drink fit for royalty and its every fan is bound to elevate any Christmas party to a new level of sophistication. Originally created as a gift for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, each Royal Salute Signature Blend carries a fruity and sophisticated aroma, as it is aged for at least 21 years in honour of the 21 Gun Salute, fired from the Tower of London for royal celebration. Another drink perfect for the festive season is undoubtedly the Royal Salute Blended Malt whiskey. Released in 2019, the 21 Year Old Blended Malt has quickly cemented its respectful place amongst Royal Salute’s flagship The Royal Blend whisky collection. Crafted with more than 21 precious single malts from Scotland’s five whisky regions, this creamy and rather sweet drink will make a perfect addition to any Christmas feast.

Cabernet Franc 2014 red wine
Margalit Vineyard Cabernet Franc Red Wine
Wine from the Israeli vineyards of Margalit is truly a rare gift: with the vineyard focusing mostly on the red wine, most of these reds, like Cabernet-Franc 2016, are actually produced once in five to seven years. The taste of Margalit Cabernet Franc is just as exclusive as the production, with grapes handpicked and carried in small buckets in order to preserve the outstanding quality of every bottle. Since a substantial amount of Margalit wines is sold annually in March and April, this Christmas gift requires an early preparation, but it definitely be worth the wait.

Hendrick’s Gin Tea Set packaging
Hendrick’s Gin with in a tea set
Hendrick’s Gin has long established itself as a classic and an absolute must at every social occasion. Famous for its fusion of roses and cucumbers combined with a divine blend of eleven botanicals, this gin can be drank by itself or mixed into a delicious cocktail. Now to make the drink even more quintessentially British, Hendrick’s has introduced a Gin Tea Set, which contains a 70cl bottle of Hendrick’s Gin, one Hendrick’s teapot, and six teacups with saucers. The new set is guaranteed to bring a new level of sophistication when hosting a dinner or a tea party, since what is better than drinking gin from a lovely teacup? Apart from traditional gin-infused cocktails, such as Gin&Tonic and Cucumber Lemonade, this holiday season why not experiment with new Christmas cocktail recipes to spice up any event, personal or business.

Consorzio Tutela Prosecco DOC
Prosecco DOCÂ
Fruity, light, and lively – if that isn’t a perfect holiday drink, then we don’t know what is. No festive season is complete without a few bubbles and that is why Prosecco DOC is what every Christmas table should accommodate. Produced in the north-eastern region of Italy, Italian dolce vita is perfectly reflected in this bottle of prosecco. Since Prosecco DOC comes in four categories (Brut, Extra Dry, Dry, and Demi-sec), each of them could be served with every new course of Christmas meal. To spice things up, Prosecco DOC is ready to be mixed to make a fancy cocktail, like a classic Bellini or a festive Prosecco Winter Sangria.
Prosecco DOC could be purchased in any store as long as it is officially recognised. Click here for Selfridges Prosecco selection.
