Prosciutto di Parma

If the thought of another dry slice of turkey fills you with existential dread, turn to Prosciutto di Parma.

Aged for at least 14 months, each leg earns its Ducal Crown mark of authenticity (which is basically the ham world’s royal seal). Serve it draped over figs, melon slices or nothing at all. Eating it straight from the packet over the sink? Entirely acceptable.

Hibiki Japanese Harmony

Suntory

Hibiki bottle

Few bottles live up to their name quite like Hibiki Japanese Harmony. Meaning “resonance,” Hibiki celebrates the balance between people and nature – and between malt and grain whiskies. On the nose, it’s all lychee, rose and gentle wood, while the palate drifts through honey, candied orange peel and a whisper of white chocolate. The finish lingers with soft Japanese oak and impossible elegance. Sip it neat, pour it over ice or stretch it into a highball – whatever your ritual, it stays beautifully in tune. Proof that harmony isn’t just a concept; it’s something you can pour into a glass.

Perfect for anyone who likes their after-dinner sipper to be on the savoury side. Cin cin!

The first prestige cuvée to be produced in England, this bottle showcases the pinnacle of Nyetimber's winemaking – offering more texture and richness than any other wine in the Nyetimber range. Pale gold in colour, it opens with red apple, peach and white rose, before settling into notes of pear, almond and clotted cream. Elegant, poised and very British in its restraint, it’s proof that homegrown fizz has moved well past novelty status. The fact that Nyetimber became the first non-Champagne ever crowned Champion Sparkling Wine at the IWC? Just the final flourish.
