Summer’s in the air!

What’s not to love about summer? Blues skies, sunshine… every day feels like it’s teeming with possibility – and there’s no denying that the perfect weather has everything to do with the feel-good atmosphere.

And now that summer has rolled on in (finally), TOPS is dedicating this month to summer fun. So whether it’s relaxed al fresco lunches or parties under the stars that you’re after, your nearest TOPS has just what you need to add a dash of carefree fun.

Cool off and wind down...

This time of year is all about finding time to cool off and wind down, and nothing says summer satisfaction like chilling out with a crisp, cool summer white wine. So start with the TOPS Exclusives range of Olive Brook wines, including their award-winning Olive Brook Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc.

And if you think reds are the way to wine, don’t let the season of sunshine stop you from enjoying a delicious red. Despite the rule that they shouldn’t be chilled, there are summer reds that can be cooled and enjoyed. Go for a summery Rosé or a fruity Shiraz.  And remember, when choosing your summer red, think refreshment, think lighter-bodied and always go for a younger wine high in acidity and low in tannins. 

So get into the swing of summer with your vino of choice and enjoy every minute of picnic wining and sunshine dining.
