The warm weather has arrived and marriage is in the air! Weddings and anniversary parties have been planned, invites sent out, dresses made and tuxedos tailored! Better stock up on Champagne before it’s too late. Whether to tie the knot, to celebrate the years achieved, or to commemorate a decade (or two) together in 2016, Vinopolis has your bubbles. From delicious non-vintage bottles to delectable vintage years, small-production winegrowers to famous Champagne houses, 750ML bottles to magnums (and even 375ML to jeroboams), we’ve got something for every nuptial feast. Champagnes excellent enough to impress and enliven the new in-laws, to fuel the dance floor, and to inspire memories worth reliving the following year with more Champagne! It’s as if the sacred effervescent wine were made for brides and grooms.
