Just because nipping across to Calais offers you the chance to save more than a few pretty pennies on your wine and beer it doesn’t mean you can’t do it in style.
Our infographic tells you everything you need to know to make the most of your next short hop across the channel. It will help you find the best bargains, select the finest wines, enjoy gourmet French cuisine and take in the sights.
We’ll show you how you can turn your next booze cruise into a rather classy pleasure trip.
With the average ferry crossing from Dover to Calais costing around £30 this is truly affordable style. It doesn’t take a mathematical genius to work out that, with £3 savings on bottles of wine, a couple of cases will cover your ferry ticket, and you’re quids in with any more that you buy.
So which wines should you look out for?
Our top tips for wines with real class include the full bodied Rioja Reserva 2009 Marqués de Riscal, whose hints of vanilla and toasted oak are made even more quaffable thanks to the considerable savings. We also don’t forget those wines that taste so much better than their £1.99 price tag may suggest, such as the crisp acidity in the fruity hints of La Serrana Rosé 2013 Vino de la Tierra de Castilla.
It’s not all about the wine though. We’ll guide you to the best places to eat, suggest a trip along the coast to charming villages, highlight the cultural highlights of Calais and make sure you return home with a boot full of quality wines and a satisfied smile that speaks of a day out in style.
