An ideal gift for all wine buffs this Christmas has got to be the Breathable Wine Glasses available from ParamountZone.com. And, you know what – they actually work!
Everybody should know that red wine needs to breath before drinking, and also then should be swilled around the glass to oxygenate it first. What these spectacular glasses help you with, is to do the job quicker! It takes only 2-4 minutes in the breathable wine glass to do what would be 1-2 hours in a normal glass. ParamountZone.com say: -
“These ingenious wine glasses have undergone a special oxygenising treatment to give the glass the unique ability to aerate your wine far, far more quickly than a normal glass will. So now there’s no need to wait for your wine to reach its peak. It can be poured straight from a recently opened bottle and will be perfectly oxygenated in just a few minutes. “
Any wine connoisseur you know would really appreciate a gift like these glasses. They are not only uniquely designed, but they actually help to improve the wine’s aroma and palate impression. These Breathable Wine Glasses would make a great gift for any occasion, be it a birthday, anniversary or wedding celebration.
You can purchase these wine glasses for £23.99 from ParamountZone.com, where you will also find an array of fantastic gifts.
Hardly known as a Gift Mecca, but There are some fabulous wines available from the Co-op, meaning you can dash out to your local store and still make Dad’s day this sunday.
Finca Las Moras Bonarda is a cracking bottle of red. I fear Argentina are going to be superior this world cup, and this Argentinian Bonarda is the same. Made in the San Juan area of Argentina, it has a fantastic aroma of red fruits and blackberries and touches of vanilla and roasted coffee.
It is bold, exciting and full of flavour - A bit like animated Argentinian manager, Diego Maradona. Unlike Maradona, this is honest and pleasant. (and unlike me, not bitter - yes I still remember the hand!)
Right, away from the (all consuming) Football!
To go along with this outstanding Red, Co-op are also offering a lovely Pinot Grigio - perfect for these wonderful sunny days we are having.
To make this an even tastier treat, the Finca Las Moras Bonarda will be on offer in Co-op stores from June 16th until July 7th, with two bottles for just £8 – a cracking bargain at just £4 a bottle, compared to its recommended retail price of £4.99 per bottle.
Go on, Make your Dad smile!
