It will be Champagne Day on Friday 27 October and here are some suggestions on where to sample the fizz – unless you already have some at home of course.
The Green Room is a wine bar located in Edinburgh’s West End with a notable wine cellar – and an impressive Champagne list. The food menu is made up of traditional comfort food, charcuterie sharing platters and innovative smaller plates.

In Edinburgh, Hawksmoor – a short walk from Waverley station, Princes Street and just off St. Andrew Square – draws on the amazing produce that Scotland has to offer and features a wide range of Champagne by the glass and by the bottle for those special occasions.

At The Bon Vivant – which was opened in September 2008 by Stuart McCluskey – European-inspired snacks and mains pair well with their Champagne offering, in a relaxed, wood-accented surrounding. The Champagne menu also features half bottles – something for every occasion.
