The perfect wines, beers and spirits for festive hosting before Christmas

Laurent-Perrier 'La Cuvée' Brut Champagne 
Elegant and sophisticated, Laurent-Perrier’s signature fizz is sure to impress at your next festive occasion.

The house began in 1812, but they’re not one to stick to traditions. In 2017, the winemaking team tore up the recipe for their non-vintage cuvée. The old wine was already one of the best-selling Champagnes in the world – but they knew they could create something even better. They weren’t wrong. La Cuvée is a uniquely fresh fizz made predominantly from Chardonnay – the result is a superb marriage of white blossom, citrus and peach, with delicate toasty notes and a light mousse. The perfect Champagne to kick off the festivities.

Chosen by Majestic Prosecco DOC Treviso 
Chosen by Majestic is a collection showcasing the best examples of key regions and core grape varietals – at great prices. And for this, we went straight to the experts. 

This Prosecco hails from a family winery with the youngest owners in the esteemed area of Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore, a renowned region for Prosecco. With its fresh notes of apple and pear, this is designed to be fresh, fruity and extremely easy-drinking. Fully vegan, it’s the ideal bottle to open at parties.

Taylor's Historical Collection 'The Mallet' Reserve Tawny Port 
In the 1720s, Peter Bearsley, the son of the founder of Taylor's, was the first person from the English wine trade to embark on the Douro Valley, the picturesque home of port. Today, Taylor's is widely considered the gold standard of aged tawny port. This one is made in tribute to their great history, with the bottle providing an exciting window onto the past, showcasing how it would have looked centuries ago. 

Expect opulent notes of coffee, butterscotch, plum and dried fruit. The perfect digestif for a cosy pre-Christmas gathering.

Suntory ‘Toki’ Whisky 70cl 
If you’re searching for the perfect drink to add a touch of elegance to sophisticated soireés, make it this.

Toki is a blended whisky from Suntory's three distilleries: Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita. With its name meaning 'time' in Japanese, Toki is an ode to both tradition and invention. Its main components are Hakushu single malt and Chita grain whisky. The result is a round, smooth spirit with a refreshing citrus character, minty herbal flavours and a spicy finish.
