Celebrate fabulous women with bubbles made by a woman!
If you’re looking for a way to say ‘you’re incredible’ to a special female in your life, buy her a bottle of Nyetimber bubbles. Nyetimber’s Head Winemaker, Cherie Spriggs, is the first female winemaker to win Sparkling Winemaker of the year, PLUS she’s the first non-French winemaker (male or female) to snatch the title. Inspired! Nyetimber is an English sparkling wine that is giving French Champagne a run for its money, so it’s a great gift. You can buy a bottle in Hong Kong from Watsons Wines now, or look at for it at luxury bars like M Bar at the Mandarin.
