Never Turn Up Empty-handed’ – Festive Beverages To Share And Enjoy

PRLog (Press Release) - Sep. 21, 2012 - Back in 2009 it was estimated that more than 605 million units of alcohol would be consumed by the British public over the festive season. This is the equivalent of 286 million glasses of traditional mulled wine, 602 million shots of vodka or 265 million pints of lager. More than half of those surveyed revealed that they would consume alcohol at all festive parties they attended, with one in three planning to attend at least three Christmas parties before the festive season was over. The unwritten rule of such festive celebrations is ‘never turn up empty-handed’, and one of the most popular gifts to bring to a Christmas gathering is a luxury food hamper, packed with indulgent treats as well as a few alcoholic beverages to celebrate the party season.
Scottish Hampers is a purveyor of only the finest food and drink products and possesses an extensive selection of Christmas food hampers which are ideal for sharing at parties and gatherings. Many of the hampers contain a drink or two, whether it is exclusive champagne for a toast, or mouth-watering Sicilian lemonade for the designated drivers, and there are more than enough delicious beverages to complement the selection of equally tasty food.  
For lovers of only the finest in locally brewed beers, the Scottish Beer Box does everything its name suggests. Presented in a wooden hamper crate to keep the bottles secure, the seven premium artisan beers are specially selected to represent different areas of Scotland and are considered a must for all seasoned lager drinkers. The Deuchars IPA (India Pale Ale) is a real highlight, winning Champion Cask Ale at the Brewing Industry International Awards 2005, and the malt sweetness and subtle hop bitterness of the West Brewery St Mungo lager is sure to go down a storm at any party this holiday season.
The Jura luxury food hamper contains two of Scotland’s finest wines. The Veldt Range Ruby Cabernet is perfect when slightly chilled, and the Chenin Blanc from the same winemakers is considered a well-balanced wine; hints of melon and lychees pervade the distinct aroma, while soft fruity flavours offer a refreshing acidity in the finish. For designated drivers and those not quite old enough to enjoy a Christmas tipple, a delicious bottle of Belvoir luxury blackcurrant and apple cordial makes up the beverages in this hamper, which also includes some of the Highland’s finest oat biscuits and Madeira cake.
