Time to Pop Some Well-Earned Champagne
This year’s Highsnobiety Gift Guide is all about the presents that’ll make a difference in these new and strange times. From gifts that encourage connection with loved ones, to self-love suggestions you entirely deserve at the end of 2020.
Few drinks come with as much symbolism as champagne. Not only is the act of opening a bottle of bubbly a ritualistic, physical and sensory experience, but the sophistication and delicacy of the drink itself are also perfectly suited to enjoyment on a special occasion. So, obviously, with the festive season around the corner, the mind begins to wander to the champagne bottle. Seeing as the holiday is the special occasion of all special occasions, it’s probably time to get a pretty special bottle, too.
Whether you’re looking for a bottle of champagne for yourself, or if you’re on the search for champagne holiday gifts, we’ve put together a definitive gift guide of the best champagne to tide you over this festive season. So, pop the cork by all means, but please, for us, try not to spill any.
