Champagne Billecart-Slamon has released its limited edition ‘Bicentenary Cuvée’ exclusively in magnums as it marks its 200th anniversary and has opened new cellars.
This month saw the launch of Champagne Pol Roger's 2009 Rosé Brut, another producer step into the distilled non-alcoholic drinks market, and Concha y Toro swap out its Casillero Rosé Shiraz in favour of a lighter, more Chilean reincarnation.
This week in the world of drinks: Pol Roger has a right royal time at the Festival of British Eventing, Hampshire's Jenkyn Place suffers a bridge collapse, Copper Rivet Distillery brings in the grain harvest by speed boat and pop icon Rick Astley branches into beer.
