experiences collected whilst exploring
the world of drinks.
Claire Drinks Recommended : Jean de Foigny Brut Premier Cru NV Champagne
Edinburgh Airport has lifted the 100ml liquid restriction, allowing containers of up to two litres in hand luggage. I put it to the test with an opened bottle of Jean de Foigny Premier Cru Champagne from The Wine Society, which travelled from Edinburgh to London in my rucksack and arrived in perfect condition.
Claire Drinks Recommended : La Fuerza Vermouth Rojo
The Negroni and the Manhattan might just be the two best things about being an adult. So my latest edition of Claire Drinks Recommended is dedicated to the essential ingredient behind them both, sweet vermouth. La Fuerza Vermouth Rojo, is an Argentinian take on this drinks cabinet standard.
Claire Drinks Recommended : Via Istrum Tamyanka chateau burgozone
Discover the unique character of Tamyanka, Bulgaria’s local name for Muscat Blanc à Petit Grains, a grape that thrives in the warm, sun-drenched Danube Plain. Château Burgozone’s Via Istrum showcases the best of this grape with a bone-dry, still Muscat, offering a vibrant bouquet of honeysuckle, orange peel, and apricot.
Claire Drinks Recommended : Height of Arrows Bright
Holyrood Distillery’s Height of Arrows Bright. A truly juniper-forward gin that showcases the extraordinary range of essential oils contained within the tiny week juniper berry.
Claire Drinks Recommended : Melina Honey wine
Raw honey has a very high concentration of sugars which when fermented results in an alcoholic drink called honey wine, or Mead.
Claire Drinks Recommended : Lamoreaux Landing T23 Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Franc is a black grape variety that responds well to a cool climate (Chinon, Saumur-Champigny, Finger Lakes).
