Which wine should you give this festive season?
Christmas is fast approaching and you’re short of ideas to spoil your friends and family? Wine is always an excellent gift idea. Whether for a man or a woman, to keep or to drink soon, a bottle, half a case or an assortment according to your budget, Alsace wine will always make a very welcome gift.
HOPLA GIFT BOX: FOR ITS BEAUTY… AND FOR THE QUALITY OF THE WINES
Five wines and Crémants d’Alsace are magnificently showcased in a beautifully designed box: the Hopla gift box is a class act! You cannot not fail to be impressed by the bold yet timeless graphics of the bottles it contains:

- One Blanc Sec with hints of minerality, to go with shellfish, for example
- One Rouge Charpenté, an ideal match for meat
- One Blanc Moelleux, a perfect companion for your desserts
- One Crémant Rosé, with festive bubbles
The Hopla gift box: a Christmas gift that will be much appreciated!

CRÉMANT GRAND PRESTIGE: EFFERVESCENT EXCELLENCE BY BESTHEIM
This vintage Crémant Brut comes from the village of Westhalten. Generous and well-structured, Crémant Grand Prestige is the highlight of the range. Its nose is complex, with notes of raspberries and white flowers, and a very aromatic palate that continues to evoke raspberries. The bottle’s smart design and packaging bring a touch of distinction and make it a beautiful bottle for a gift.

VENDANGES TARDIVES (LATE HARVEST): EXCEPTIONAL SWEET WINES
You can be certain that a Vendanges Tardives wine will make a very welcome Christmas gift. These wines for special occasions, smooth and aromatic, are a delight with foie gras in particular… which, by a stroke of luck, is often on the menu during the festive season!
