This year, Cartwright & Butler, Virgin Wines and Moonpig have collaborated on a range of curated pairings that celebrates teatime treats and expertly chosen wines. The range combines Cartwright & Butler’s award-winning products, Virgin Wine’s exquisite wines and Moonpig’s expertise as the nation’s favourite gifting site, to offer a collection of moments designed to elevate gifting occasions and add a new dimension to the art of wine pairing.
Cartwright & Butler is taking the lead on this next wave of food pairings by highlighting the versatility of your teatime or evening treat and how a new dimension of flavour can be brought out by the classic, indulgent drink. From rich dark chocolate to aromatic coffee beans and your favourite biscuits, Cartwright & Butler and Virgin Wines have combined their expertise to showcase how perfectly wine can be paired with a decadent treat whilst also making the ultimate, thoughtful gift for a loved one.
Available exclusively on Moonpig, the range has been developed to complement a wide range of gifting occasions. From birthday’s to Father’s Day & Mother’s Day, Christmas and all the events in between, the new range brings together two of its most popular offerings to help customers celebrate all of the moments that matter with even more luxurious gifting options.
On the collaboration, Charlotte O’Neill, head of sales at Cartwright & Butler, says: “For our entire 115-year history, Cartwright & Butler has been synonymous with luxury teatime treats and gifting with our ranges designed for any celebration. For us, it was natural to join forces with Virgin Wines at Moonpig; we know that wine and sweet treats are the go-to options, and when paired together they make a thoughtful gift for any loved one.”
Jon Shannon, commercial director at Virgin Wines, adds: “We’re thrilled to launch this range of perfectly paired bundles with Cartwright & Butler. Whilst many may turn to savoury classics to pair with our wines, it’s important to highlight how well they balance with sweet treats like chocolate and biscuits too.”
Polly Noel-Storr, Head of Buying at Moonpig commented: “We’re passionate about helping our customers celebrate life’s special moments in a way that feels personal to them. Which is why we’re excited to be extending our range with a collaboration that will complement even more gifting occasions.”
