A wine estate is "over the moon" after winning an award.

Ridgeview won a Sparkling Wine of the Year award at the Sommelier Wine Awards 2024 for its Bloomsbury Magnum NV.

Head winemaker Simon Roberts said: "We are so proud to win the Sommelier Wine Awards trophy for Best Sparkling Wine 2024.

"This is the first time we have released our Bloomsbury wine in magnum format, so it’s amazing it has been awarded this incredible accolade.

"The Sommelier Wine Awards are special for us as this is voted by the people representing and promoting our products to the consumer.

"Bloomsbury is our most popular wine, so always get to get such positive recognition by your peers.

"There is nothing better then seeing customers celebrating in restaurants with our sparkling wine.”

The wine estate in Ditchling Common was founded in 1995 by Chris and Mike Roberts when the first vines were planted.

It is open seven days a week for visitors.

Nostalgic Anthony Zupnik, 36, has been obsessed with the old-school burger joints for more than 30 years after falling in love with them as a child. He believes he may have devoured up to 1,000 Wimpy meals in his lifetime and mainly orders the same dish of a burger with ketchup and onions and a side of fries. And on one day, he visited five different branches of Wimpy as part of a supersized charity mission to eat at all their outlets across England and Scotland during July.
