Christmas is known for spending time with loved ones, and Riunite’s tagline is appropriately ‘This is R moment to Riunite’. Recently named Prosecco of The Year and taking out gold at the Melbourne International Wine Competition, Riunite is rich with Italian heritage, beginning when a small group of wine producers came together to explore a shared passion for making great wine. Today, Riunite is produced by Italy’s largest exporter of Italian wines. Prosecco consumption is growing at 46 per cent and Riunite is a fine example of why. It’s light, fresh and clean with notes of crisp apples and pears. RRP: $16.99 Distributed by: Kollaras & Co
2. TOVARITCH VODKA Tovaritch is famously known for being Russia’s most awarded vodka, with The Drinks Business recently reporting that it’s on track for its 105th award. Gluten free, organic and non-GMO, Tovaritch has been a hit with the independent trade. The vodka was also listed as a finalist in the Best Light Spirit of the Year category at the Australian Liquor Industry Awards (ALIA). Eugenio Litta Modignani, CEO of Tovaritch commented, “These organisations signify our brand’s ever-growing international recognition as a top-quality vodka”. RRP: $39.99 Distributed by: Kollaras & Co
