Tuesday 1st July 2008

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

It’s official, when asked to choose whether they preferred to quaff champagne or sample fine wines 69% of 880 Railbookers customers chose to follow their nose rather than let the bubbles go to their head, yes that’s right despite the glamour of champagne wine continues to be an old favourite.

If you are also a fan of the odd glass of red why not head to the source of the sauce and spend a relaxing weekend in beautiful Bordeaux. Take a tour of the surrounding vineyards, become a wine connoisseur with a wine tasting course and explore the streets of this full-bodied city. Visit Bordeaux with Railbookers and stay at the 3* Best Western Bordeaux “Bayonne Etche-Ona” Hotel from £219 per person for 2 nights including breakfast and return train travel.

Alternatively if you can’t resist the sparkle of champagne head to the world’s finest champagne cellar, Reims. Home to the most famous champagne houses including Taittinger, Piper-Heidsieck, Mumm, Krug and Veuve Clicquot Reims is the place to sample the regions finest.
