Queen Elizabeth Her Majesty has always been quite secretive about her favourite tipples, but over the years she has shown a preference for a couple of wine styles – German Riesling and English Sparkling wine.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Much like Her Majesty, German Riesling is one of the few white grape varieties that continues to develop and improve with age:<\/p>\n
* Abtei Himmerod Sp\u00e4tlese Lieblich Riesling 2020 [1] – \u00a39.99 – 4.1 \/ 5 Vivino Star Rating
\n* Fritz Walter Riesling Trocken 2020 [2] – \u00a310.99 – 4.1 \/ 5 Vivino Star Rating
\n* Dr. Loosen Dr. L Riesling 2020 [3] – \u00a312.60 – 4.0 \/ 5 Vivino Star Rating<\/p>\n
Fortunately, there\u2019s no shortage of English fizz to celebrate the Jubilee in style. Consider yourself a Champagne lover? You\u2019ll be happy to know English bubbles are produced from the same grapes and inexactly the same way. The soils upon which our English vines grow are similar to the world-famous French region too. Better news for your bank balance though, as most of our English fizz doesn\u2019t carry the same hefty price-tag!<\/p>\n
These top-rated, wallet-friendly English Sparkling wines are options the Vivino community believes even The Queen would approve of. Nyetimber is not only rumoured to be a favourite of Her Majesty,it was also reportedly served at Kate Middleton’s sister, Pippa’s, wedding.<\/p>\n
* Nyetimber Classic Cuvee Brut [4] – \u00a329.99 – 4.2 \/ 5 Vivino Star Rating
\n* Chapel Down Ros\u00e9 Brut N.V [5]. – \u00a329.00 – 4.2 \/ 5 Vivino Star Rating
\n* Kingscote Estate Brut 2019 [6] – \u00a318.50 – 4.2 \/ 5 Vivino Star Rating

Prince Charles & Camilla If you fancy drinking like Prince Charles and Camilla, then look towards an English white wine called Bacchus. It turns out Charles has such a fondness for our blossoming white vino and British cheese, hedecided to power his Aston Martin on surplus stocks so none went to waste!<\/p>\n
This wonderful grape has become somewhat of a flagship for Britain and sits somewhere between a Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio, with an eloquent English twist. Here are some of the nation\u2019s favourites based ratings and reviews on Vivino:<\/p>\n
* Davenport Vineyards Horsmonden 2019 [9] – \u00a317.40 – 4.2 \/ 5 Vivino Star Rating
\n* Lyme Bay Winery Bacchus 2020 [10] – \u00a319.99 – 4.2 \/ 5 Vivino Star Rating
\n* Chapel Down Bacchus 2020 [11] – \u00a317.95 – 4.1 \/ 5 Vivino Star Rating<\/p>\n
Prince William & Kate While the future King and his glorious wife may have had Chapel Down\u2019s Rose Brut at their wedding, the duo are apparently big fans of Merlot as well. Here are some of the UK\u2019s favourite Merlot\u2019s from around the world, as chosen by Vivino\u2019s community:<\/p>\n
* Ch\u00e2teau George 7 Fronsac 2018 [12] (France) – \u00a326.95 – 4.5 \/ 5 Vivino Star Rating
\n* Meerlust Merlot 2016 [13] (South Africa) – \u00a324.74 – 4.2 \/ 5 Vivino Star Rating
\n* Ventisquero Grey Glacier Single Block Merlot 2019 [14] (Chile) – \u00a316.95 – 4.0 \/ 5 Vivino Star Rating<\/p>\n
Prince Harry & Meghan Although they live in the US these days, Meghan is well-known for her love of hearty Italian Tuscan wines. In fact, she named her blog \u2018The Tig\u2019 after the famous producer Tignanello when sipping it for the first time.<\/p>\n
Red Tuscan wines are packed full of meadow berries, light cocoa and a dash of vanilla oak making them the perfect choice as Spring turns to Summer. Here are the top choices under \u00a325 from our Vivino community:<\/p>\n
* Geografico Contessa di Radda Chianti Classico Riserva 2016 [15] – \u00a313.99 – 4.1 \/ 5 Vivino Star Rating
\n* Corte Medicia Atos 2016 [16] – 16.95 – 4.1 \/ 5 Vivino Star Rating
\n* Tenuta Argentiera Villa Donoratico Bolgheri 2017 [17] – \u00a317.99 – 4.2 \/ 5 Vivino Star Rating<\/p>\n
