Sensational selection of summertime booze from The Drinks Basket

• Discover the perfect picnic wine, the best BBQ beers or chilled beachside cocktails
• Make the most of summer and the alfresco lifestyle

With the prospect of a sensational summer now very much a reality – The Drinks Basket has chosen a summer-inspired range of drinks which are perfect for picnics, BBQs and those long-awaited days at the beach.

Nothing says summer more than making the most of hazy sun-kissed days with friends and family.

Brits love the alfresco lifestyle and with the UK celebrating National Picnic Week and National BBQ week in June and July, plus a month-long feast of football with European Football Championships involving England, Scotland and Wales, it means there will be plenty of opportunities for get-togethers and celebrations.

The Drinks Basket, one the UK's most popular online retailers of premium branded alcoholic drinks, has picked the coolest choices from their wine, beer and spirits selections to enjoy this summer.
