I’ve just been sent this photo by one of our buyers who is clearly not sitting in a dark, rainy, north London office like me, but is out and about in an amazing vineyard. Look at those terraces! You could probably ski down that.

Another week and another bottle of Laurent-Perrier is about to make a move. We were once again, happy and surprised with the number of comments we received. Who could have thought that Charles in a dress could make such an impact!

On Wednesday the 20th of January, bartenders and sommeliers from across the country converged on London’s Saatchi gallery for the undisputed (by me) industry highlight of the year: The Bartenders vs Sommeliers Superstars Competition. The drinks professionals were there to pit their skills head to head, in order to win not only an all expenses paid distillery tour trip to Cognac, but …

Following from last week’s Tim Atkin Caption Competition, here is this week’s chance to win a bottle of Laurent Perrier Ultra Brut Champagne. All you have to do is watch our very own spirits maestro Will Lowe make our Bibendum Times cocktail then come up with a name for Will’s creation.

Thank you to all for putting your thinking caps on and entering our caption competition. Occasional bursts of laughter throughout our office is possibly the best way to describe how much we enjoyed some of them. If you’re in need of some comic break you can have a sneak peek at at them here…

Thank you all for sending so many comments. Occasional burst of laughter in our office are possibly the best way to describe how much we enjoyed some of them.
Tim kindly agreed to choose the best comment himself. Philippa Vino’s comment “Tim’s grin slowly turned to a look of anguish as he realised the Comic Relief team had stuck superglue on the bottom of …

Thank you all for sending you festive wine pictures. Seems like some of you had great fun while others (judging by the above picture) were in need of some cooling down. But this wasn’t the only good festive snap we got. Feel free to have a look at all the pictures
Anyway a crisp bottle of …
