Becky Says: “Why I Adore This Selection”
This Old World Half Bottle Wine Case reflects my love for wines steeped in history and tradition. Each bottle is a journey through time, offering a taste of the heritage and passion that make Old World wines so special.
The Gavi di Gavi evokes memories of Italian vineyards, while the Rioja Reserva carries the essence of Spain’s vibrant culture. The Quinta do Crasto, with its Roman origins, is a delightful nod to Portugal’s winemaking legacy. I have a soft spot for the Capezzana, which showcases the elegance of Tuscan wines with every sip. The Côtes du Rhône and Rioja Blanco round off the collection beautifully, offering versatility and sophistication.
I chose these wines because they bring a sense of place and personality to every glass. They’re perfect for sharing with friends, pairing with your favourite dishes, or simply savouring on your own. This case is a celebration of Old World craftsmanship, and I know you’ll love it as much as I do.
