In the week leading up to Valentine’s Day last year, sparkling wine and Champagne sales increased by 18 per cent in comparison to normal trading weeks. Campbell Stott, Head of Merchandise at Dan Murphy’s, is expecting to see another rise in sales this year.
“Sparkling wine and Champagne are always popular choices for celebratory events, and Valentine’s Day is becoming an increasingly popular day for couples to crack open a bottle of bubbles.”
“This year Dan Murphy’s is predicting sparkling wine and Champagne sales to rise by 15 per cent compared to 2013 as couples start to replace going out to restaurants on Valentine’s Day with cooking up their own romantic feasts, complete with bubbles,” he says.
