‘Marks & Sparkle’ can be bought in cases of six, but only while stock lasts
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Looking for a sparkling wine with even more sparkle? Well, pop on your shades for this one: Marks and Spencer has just launched a bottle of fizz infused with glittering flakes of edible 22-carat gold leaf.
‘Marks & Sparkle’ costs £60 for a case of six, making it just £10 per bottle, and pretty much guarantees your party guests will be feeling Christmassy by the time the nibbles have reached the table.
This isn’t the first time Marks and Spencer has experimented with sprinkling precious metals into our favourite Christmas tipples. Last year’s light-up snow globe gin was a big hit with Christmas shoppers, so much so that the festive spirits have returned for 2022 (£35, Marksandspencer.com).
Marks and Spencer’s starry night shortbread tin (£9, Ocado.com) hit the shelves in October, and features a selection of butter and chocolate shortbreads in a tin that doubles as a musical rotating light projector.
