Made with Tanqueray No 10 gin, this vibrant red drink is a well-balanced interplay of flavour- allowing the botanical notes from the liquor to be spotlighted with the use of fresh ingredients.

FAQs
After sparkling wine is produced, it is stored airtight in a bottle that ferments natural sugars with the help of yeast – which produces alcohol and carbon dioxide. Due to sealing, the carbon dioxide can’t escape into the atmosphere, resulting in the extra effervescence.
