Offers

An alternative to our French Choice selection, this case of six red and six white wines from France is a real bargain, combining offer prices with free delivery nationwide.

Each twelve-bottle case contains the following:

There's a time and a place for champagne, but the same is true for all these delicious and ebullient alternatives, as you'll find out when you raise a glass of any of them.

We're delighted to offer really good bubbles that don't break the bank, and in any case five of these six wines are made by the 'traditional' method of secondary fermentation in the bottle, which is the technique used in Champagne and sometimes known as 'méthode champenoise'.

The La Vieille Ferme wine cheekily describes its method of vinification as 'méthode contemporaine', but that's typical of the confident and breezy approach of a brand that is all about fun, reliability and authentic French winemaking.

All six wines in this bubble mix have their own appeal, and serve as a very attractive taster of our non-champagne styles.

Each half case contains one bottle each of the following:

One of the most popular wines at Bubble Brothers, in a double helping from the seriously delicious 2018 vintage.

The magnum size is ideal when you have a crowd: luxury and a sense of occasion, without overdoing it.

Ripe and juicy with good weight, moderate tannins and attractive notes of sweet blackberry, farmyard and thyme. Impressive length and complexity for a wine at this price.

'This is another wine that won me over on the first sniff: its delicious sweet farmyard scent giving way to a well-weighted medium mouthful.'
Blake Creedon, Irish Examiner, January 2012

Peach-fresh aromas with a definite floral component put a spring in the step of this premium Chablis before the first sip.

Match it with seafood, poultry, white meats, charcuterie or cheese for a real treat.

All the refinement and elegance you could wish for in a Chablis, with fresh, citrus aromas leading to a taut but generous mouthful, with pure minerality and a precise, lemony finish.

There's hardly a better partner on our list for fish and seafood dishes, and the ample, supple weight of this superior wine makes it a revelation too with a variety of poultry dishes.

The magnum format of one of our most popular white wines. The Verdejos of Rueda are sometimes dubbed the Sauvignons of Spain, but their individual aromatic character and balance of freshness and weight in the mouth make them distinctively appealing.

The Guía Peñín 2018, the top reference for Spanish wines, accorded the 2016 Verdejo 91/100 (Excellent).

The prestigious French publication Gilbert & Gaillard awarded the 2016 vintage 92/100, describing this (high praise indeed from the French) as “a gourmet wine”.

This is an aromatic, joyously pink bubbly that makes a delicious change from Toni Garriga's impressive and inexpensive white cava reserva.

Subtle red fruit aromas from the pure Pinot Noir grapes meet lasting, fine effervescence in a celebratory glassful that has appealing berry flavours and enough body to make it an accommodating food wine.

Mas Codina is in the Alt Penedès, a subregion west of Barcelona and protected from the elements by two mountain ranges. The family-owned company grows its fruit and makes its wines on a estate dating from 1681. It bottles only estate-grown fruit.

This is a delicious choice for all kinds of celebrations big and small, and brings together the established value of the La Vieille Ferme brand from the Perrin family with the fun and sparkle of a bubbly.

Lees-aged Chardonnay makes a light, lively fizz with floral and citrus character and hints of brioche—it's everything you need to create an instant party atmosphere with just a suggestion of luxury.

Fragrant with toasty biscuit and brioche, lifted by citrus and floral notes. Zingy and elegant palate, with a crisp, lemony finish.
Delicious as an aperitif, or to complement lighter meals.

Situated in the heart of the Alt Penedès - a privileged subregion protected from the elements by two mountain ranges, 40 hectare Mas Codina is a boutique, family-owned company dating from 1681. It uses only estate-grown fruit.

These are entirely authentic wines, with bright, fresh aromas of flowers and citrus enhanced by slight buttery notes. Supple balance in the mouth shows off a lovely texture and great typical minerality, making this an obvious choice for seafood dishes, oysters, charcuterie and cheese, as well as a great aperitif.

Though the Baillard and Servin families have long experience in wine and winemaking, Julien Baillard has only recently been set up to vinify and bottle part of the fruit produced at Domaine Baillard.

Julien Baillard's granddaughter Elodie takes care of vinification, while her partner Kevin deals with marketing and distribution of a developing range of wines from the domaine's twenty-four hectares, which include some of Chablis' most prestigious plots of land.

Italian wine law changed in May 2020 to officially recognize the existence of rosé prosecco.

Strict conditions of the new wine's DOC status require it: to come from the Valdobbiadene region in the Veneto; to be bottled as a vintage wine; to be made in the spumante style; and to contain 85–90% Glera grapes and 10–15% Pinot Noir grapes.

This is a fine, fresh and sophisticated bubbly, with immediately appealing red fruit, peach and honeysuckle character. It's a crisp, floral treat that makes a delicious choice for meals of all kinds from picnics to banquets, and it's certain to go down well at any sort of celebration where a glass is to be raised.

It's no wonder that prosecco is so popular, when it's as joyfully easy to enjoy as this aromatic example.

To accompany the fine fizz there are typical aromas of citrus fruit and spring flowers, and fresh, fruity flavours with hints of citrus and also of more tropical fruits. While the bubbles are soft and fine, there's brisk acidity too that keeps each mouthful appetizing and makes this an easy choice for all kinds of occasions and especially celebrations big or small.

An extravagant bouquet of sweet spices and pepper, followed by a full-throttle, firm-tannined wash of ripe blackberry, menthol and minerals. A very serious wine! So treat like a Bordeaux, and aerate well, before enjoying alongside roast beef, mature cheeses or chargrilled vegetables.

Cabardès is a relatively small red-and-rosé appellation in the hills north of Carcassonne. Its catchment area is on the climatic border between balmy Languedoc-Roussillon and the more inclement South-West, in the foothills of the Montagne Noir. This double identity is manifested in the grape varieties which make up the appellation's wines: Grenache and Syrah from the SE; Cabernets Franc and Sauvignon, and Merlot, from the SW/Bordeaux. The result is some genuinely unique wines, the majority of which are red.

‘At this price it's a steal!’
Mary Dowey, The Irish Times

You may know Cabernet Franc as a blending grape in Bordeaux, or as a more significant component of the reds you're likely to find in French supermarkets further north. It is of course one of the stars of the Loire Valley, but in a modest vintage its vegetal character can limit its appeal.

The ideal wine-growing conditions of Mendoza's Maipú region allow the grapes to ripen fully and emphasize a richer, darker side in the resulting wine. There's a Cabernet-family blackcurrant depth to the flavours, but at the same time a herby, spicy edge, that make this a great choice with lamb and pork—try the Inicio Malbec with your steak!

If you'd like to read more about how the newcomer fits in with Malbec, here's a recent article by Amanda Barnes for the South American Wine Guide.

‘A benchmark example, very clean with citrus understones to the pure fruit and mineral bouquet. Persistent and fruity on the palate with a refreshing acidity to balance’

Fashionable, medium-bodied and refreshingly mineral Languedoc white, full of fresh aromas and flavours of apple, grapefruit, and wet stones. Supple and invigorating, with a dry, briny finish, it's a great aperitif or seafood wine.

‘Picpoul de Pinet will be familiar to any of you who travel to the Languedoc, where it is the perfect partner for all things fishy. It seems to be growing in popularity here too. This fine example has lots of clean, zippy, citrus and green apple fruits with a refreshing minerality. Perfect on its own or with seafood.’
John Wilson, Irish Times, April 2012

Picpoul Blanc is the grape of Picpoul de Pinet, one of the named 'crus' of the Coteaux du Languedoc in the south of France. Picpoul means ‘lip stinger’, in reference to the variety's potentially formidable acidity. Instead of acidity or, indeed, stung lips, the wine trade prefers to talk about Picpoul's ‘freshness’, ‘verve’, and ‘attractive liveliness’.
