Raising a Can ...
Not content with offering an array of awardwinning , Kentish-made sparkling wines from their Hush Heath Estate , the dedicated team at Balfour have cracked the wine-on-the-go trend with their beautifully crafted Balfour Pink Fizz cans .
Boasting two servings of semi-sparkling English pink wine in each 200ml can , the wine is derived from a field blend of seven different Kentish-grown grape varieties , with the team using the assemblage method to capture the perfect pink colour and taste profile , while the use of recyclable aluminum cans not only adds to the winery ’ s environmental values but also ensures the wine is kept fruitier and fresher for longer .
Balfour Pink Fizz comes in 200ml cans with an RRP of £ 5 available from balfourwinery . com / shop . It is lightly sparkling in style , with 11.5 % alcohol and is suitable for vegans .
Indulging in Limited Edition Christmas Biscuits ...
The master biscuiteers at Bahlsen have upped their Christmas treat game with not one , but two limited edition treats perfect for the festive season .
Boasting the ultimate ratio of chocolate to biscuit in every bite and sustainably sourced cocoa , the Choco Leibniz Baileys offers a creamy twist to the popular classic as the iconic crisp biscuit ’ s generous layer of milk chocolate is infused with the taste of Baileys Original Irish Cream . While the Messino Pink Gin & Tonic is the perfect combination of two classics as the soft springy sponge cake is topped with a splash of pink gin & tonic flavoured filling before being encased in signature dark chocolate .
Find both limited editions in the festive aisles of Waitrose , Tesco , Sainsburys and Asda priced at RRP £ 1.75 and £ 1.50 respectively .
