Vinopolis' Christmas gifts uncork festive cheer

Searching for original Christmas gifts doesn't have to be a nightmare, not where food and drink is concerned anyway. Vinopolis, London's cavernous wine tasting experience by gastronomic wonderland Borough Market, has five new fabulous gifts ripe for the picking.

Easily ordered on-line or over the phone, the all new 'Vinopolis in a Box' is a wonderful gift for wine lovers and gives enthusiasts the perfect chance to learn more about their favourite tipple. This beautifully packaged box comes in four different varieties: Grapevine - £65, Vineyard - £70, Spirit - £80 and Celebration - £90, (depending on the type of tour chosen by the buyer) and each set contains essential items for every vinophile:

The Sommelier's favourite double lever corkscrew. Ergonomically designed and being lightweight and small in size, it fits perfectly into one's hand. The clever double lever system is the best at extracting old corks as well as the most resilient.
2 DropStop wine pourers in presentation case. Invented by genius Dane Brian Van Jensens, this flexible pourer fits into any bottle and ensures no drop is ever spilt again!
Wine pump & 2 stoppers. This vacuum pump extracts air from an open bottle of vino and re-seals it with a re-usable plastic stopper ensuring the oxidisation process is slowed down and the wine can be enjoyed for a few days more.
A pair of Vinopolis self-guided tour tickets. From a choice of 4 tours: the Grapevine Tour is the classic Vinopolis experience for the beginner and includes a 'how to taste wine' session, 5 wine tastings, 1 Bombay Sapphire cocktail and a Vinopolis tasting book in which notes can be made on wines tasted. The Vineyard Tour is perfect for the wine lover and includes all of the above, plus 2 premium wine tastings. The Spirit of Vinopolis is for those who want to experience everything that Vinopolis has to offer and includes everything on the Grapevine tour plus 2 Whisky tastings, 2 Absinthe tastings, 3 Rum tastings and 2 beer tastings. The Celebration Tour is the ultimate experience for wine and Champagne lovers and includes an audio guide, 'how to taste' session, 5 wine tastings, 3 Rum tastings, 2 premium wine tastings, 3 Champagne tastings, 1 Bombay Sapphire Cocktail and a Vinopolis tasting notebook.

As a limited edition and especially for the 2008 festive season Vinopolis has created the ultimate food and wine lovers' gift: 'Christmas Vinopolis in a Box.' Containing 2 Vineyard tour tickets, ½ bottle (37.5cl) of Taylor's Vintage Port 2001 and 1/8 of Stichelton (750g) the delicious cheese made by leading cheese maker's Joe Schneider and Randolph Hodgson of Neal's Yard Dairy. Because it's made from unpasteurised milk, it's even creamier than Stilton and is reputed to be made from the original Stilton recipe. Christmas Vinopolis in a Box costs £99 and is available to buy online and by phone.

Notes to Editor
1. Vinopolis was the brainchild of wine merchant Duncan Arbuckle. The site sits beneath the arches of a Victorian railway viaduct, reminiscent of wine cellars and is over 2½ acres of space devoted entirely to the world of wine. Vinopolis opened on the 23rd July 1999.
2. Vinopolis is at No 1 Bank End, London, SE1 9BU, by London Bridge station and gastronomic wonderland Borough Market.
3. *Vinopolis is dependent on the Royal Mail to deliver parcels and has used their dates as confirmation of delivery, therefore Vinopolis cannot be held responsible for gifts that do not arrive before Christmas.
