Heat Wave at Chatsworth

This years Nissan International Horse Trials at Chatsworth (Derbyshire) kept to the tradition of being stunningly hot. Barrels & Bottles kept the crowds cool with our open-topped Champagne bus at the side of the main arena. Serving Champagne Canard Duchene and Fresita (the Chilean sparkling wine infused with strawberries) chilled to perfection the bus provided a grand stand view of the events.

Chatsworth Horse Trials - Official Sponsor 2007

Barrels & Bottles were proud sponsors of this years Chatsworth Horse Trials - supplying wine and champagne for the event and entertaining the crowds with the spectacular "sabrage" demonstration. This is the art of removing the cork from a bottle of champagne with a sword .. great fun if a little wasteful on the champagne!
