This time of year calls for celebration, there’s no better way to do it than by raising a toast

This time of year calls for celebration. It’s time to gather the people you love around you and make sure they know how much they matter. It’s time to laugh, sing, give gifts and raise toasts. It’s time to treat yourself and enjoy the moment.

Nothing says celebration like a glass of something bubbly. The sound of the bottle popping, plus the gentle fizz as the glass is filled, brings to mind many a happy evening. O’Briens are an Irish family owned drinks retailer with 34 stores across Ireland and online at obrienswine.ie. Their festive fizz collection covers all bases this holiday season; from the bottle you need for that special moment between just the two of you, to the party fizz that needs to go around. Head into O’Briens to find the perfect addition to your Christmas and New Year’s Eve wine rack.
