Wiston takes to the skies
English bubbles at 30,000ft…
This year British Airways has introduced English Sparkling Wine into their business class experience, so customers can now enjoy award-winning British bubbles in the air. We are very excited to announce that our Wiston Brut NV is currently being poured in Club Class lounges and at 30,000ft on British Airways flights! Selected by Master of Wine Tim Jackson, British Airways’ full time sommelier, our Brut NV was tried and tested in the sky as the way we taste wine is impacted by altitude. Read more on this here.
The Brut NV is our benchmark sparkling wine. In June 2023 Christina Pickard from Wine Enthusiast said ‘This gold-hued non vintage Brut is a classic example of the stellar quality of English fizz. Initial gun smoke notes morph into more opulent aromas like honeyed apple, citrus peel and toasted hazelnut. The rapier acidity is cheek-sucking and tongue-tingling but lends freshness to the creamy textural weight and adds to the long, tangy finish. All elegance and class, this is highly food friendly but also totally delicious on its own.’
We are very proud of this achievement and hope you can raise a glass of English Sparkling Wiston in the skies.
