A royal flush of British sparkling wines – perfect for coronation celebrations

What better excuse could there be for opening a bottle or two of fabulous British sparkling wine than the upcoming coronation of their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla. Classic method, bottle-fermented sparkling wines have been an enormous success story for the country’s wine industry: Britain can now boast wines made from the traditional Champagne grape varieties (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier) that are truly world-class. The patriotic (and commercially astute) folk at some of the country’s finest producers are issuing special cuvées just in time for the historic day.
