Sparkling Wine Sales Bubble at Virgin Wines
Virgin Wines has sold more bottles of sparkling wine in the last 12 months than ever before. Like for like sales of sparkling wine have increased by 76% in value, while the number of bottles sold has more than doubled, emphasising Virgin Wines commitment to providing the best value possible.
Commenting on the success, Louise Truswell, PR Executive of Virgin Wines said: “We are delighted that sales of our sparkling wines have increased so dramatically over the past year. As consumers increasingly look for alternatives to Champagne, we are determined to provide our customers with the very best sparkling wines from around the world. We expect to see more and more demand for sparkling wine over the coming months.”
Combining the massive increase in demand for Rosé and the thirst for sparkling wine, Virgin Wines has introduced La Certosa Sparkling Pinot Grigio Brut Rosé, which has become an instant customer favourite. The feedback from customers has been very positive with comments such as “A good value Sparkler”, “Superb Sunny Fizz” and “Light, fruity, crispy - a really good drink”.
