"For: Wine that will impress. The bad news: hot dog and bubbly heaven, Bubbledogs is one of the many restaurants that has been forced to close this year. The good news: Their website, Bubbleshop, is still very much up and running. We like their Christmas party packs as a no-brainer option that will have everyone nodding and saying ‘I like this pinot, I like it a lot’. If you’re just looking for a nice bottle to bring along for your host, you’ll find plenty of options on their website - all handpicked by their owner, an award-winning sommelier.
