A great party or an original wedding favour idea is to present your guests with their own miniature bottle of bubbly or sparkling wine. Sometimes it can save the cost of corkage at a large event to place a small bottle at each table setting rather than pay for a wine waiter to attend the occasion? This also gives you the option of having several alternatives for different guests. With some suppliers you can even opt to have the bottles personalised and use them as a unique place setting idea – particularly useful for weddings and parties.
There are now several non vintage brands available in miniature form. Generally, miniature bottles contain 20cl or a quarter of a traditional bottle and will provide two normal servings. Here’s a selection of some of the most popular miniature Champagnes and Sparkling Wines:
