FOR SPARKLING SOCIALITES

THIS calendar from THE PIP STOP ( thepipstop.co.uk) has 24 200ml bottles of prosecco, cava, sparkling wine and champagne. Most aren’t usually available in small sizes, so it’s difficult to estimate their value. I work it out based on the price by volume of full-sized bottles, and find the contents are worth just over £78. Not an amazing deal, but it is a fun way of tasting a variety of fizz without shelling out huge sums. For example, a full-sized 750ml bottle of Laurent Perrier champagne would cost around £25.95, so this 200ml version is the equivalent of £6.92 by volume. LOOKS: 1/5 VALUE: 3/5
