00:00 Hi, I'm Hannah Twiggs, the Independence Food and Drink Editor, and I'm here to tell you

00:04 about the Christmas wine cases from Perfect Cellar.

00:06 These cases are a great way to stock up on booze before the big day and they also make

00:10 a great last minute gift.

00:11 There are two cases available, a standard case and a premium case.

00:15 They each contain four bottles that have been hand selected to see you through the Christmas

00:19 celebrations.

00:20 So they include a sparkling wine, a white wine, a red wine and a dessert wine.

00:24 And the good news is it's 15% off from now until Christmas.

00:28 The first wine is a beautiful Cremant from the Loire.

00:32 Cremant is creamier than champagne and softer than Prosecco, so it actually makes a great

00:36 choice for people who might not actually like sparkling wine.

00:40 I really love this wine.

00:42 It's really soft, really creamy.

00:45 It would be a great thing to drink with canapes or to have on its own or to have with your

00:50 smoked salmon breakfast.

00:52 So the white wine in the first box is a Sauvignon Blanc from Xavier Fressant Terrain.

00:58 This is a really versatile white wine.

01:00 It will go just as well with starters as it will with your roast turkey.

01:05 For the red, we've got a Bordeaux, of course.

01:07 This one is from Chateau Tertre de Vaux.

01:12 This is a really fantastic red wine that would be great with your roast beef, but it would

01:16 also be really nice to drink with cheese.

01:19 And lastly, we have a sweet sparkling wine from Italy.

01:23 This is called a Moscato d'Asti, and the producer is Fontana Fredda Moncucco.

01:29 This is a really, really beautiful sweet sparkling wine full of stone fruits and honey.

01:36 It's the perfect thing to have with your dessert, or if you're having ice cream, you can drizzle

01:40 it over the top.

01:41 Okay, so now for the premium box.

01:44 The premium box takes things up a notch.

01:46 So for the sparkling, we have a champagne from Emile Dupuis.

01:51 This is a really beautiful champagne.

01:53 It's just as good to drink on its own if you're toasting or with those canapes and starters

01:59 that you have at the start of the day.

02:01 For the white wine, we have a Saint-Cyr.

02:04 This is from Moulin de Ruyer, 2022.

02:08 This is the perfect wine for seafood.

02:10 If you're having smoked salmon for breakfast or you have any fish-based canapes, this is

02:14 the wine to drink, and it's just as good with your turkey.

02:17 We have another Bordeaux for the reds.

02:19 This is a lesser-known appellation from Chateau de Bergerie, but it's still just as good.

02:25 This is perfect for roast meats, gravy, those big flavors that you have on the Christmas

02:31 table because it's packed full of plummy dark fruits, and it's a big, bold drink.

02:37 And for the dessert wine, we have, interestingly, a Riesling.

02:41 This one, it's from Edmond Renz.

02:44 Riesling is a really versatile type of wine.

02:47 You can get white wines.

02:48 You can get sparkling wines.

02:49 This one is great for dessert.

02:52 It's full of dried fruits and candied citrus, so it's the perfect drink to end the meal.

02:57 Avoid a last-minute scramble around the supermarket and order these great quality wines straight

03:02 to your door in time for Christmas.

03:04 Remember, it's 15% off.

03:06 Go now.
