Bubbles in Brussels

PRESS RELEASE
Bubbles in Brussels :
a seduction campaign in the capital’s hotels and bars
Brussels, 8 October 2012 – From the 1st of November to the 31st of December, the "Bubbles in
Brussels" campaign will put the sparkle into some of the best hotel bars in the capital. For
two months, these institutions will offer an ebullient and effervescent champagne tasting
deal. Having tasted three different vintages, the customer will select their favourite, which
will be served in a flute, accompanied by an appetizer .
The promoters of this initiative are the Brussels Hotels Association (BHA), which brings
together the hospitality industry in Brussels, and Food for Thought (& Drinks for Fun),
consisting of the catering managers of the capital’s starred hotels. This light and airy
campaign is part of the culinary year Brusselicious 2012, which will thus end in style with the
popping of champagne corks.
Hotels with a bar and/or restaurant must submit their candidacy with the BHA. According to
its organisers, the seduction campaign clearly sets out to celebrate hotel bars as great places
to go out and meet friends in Brussels. For this sixth edition of "Bubbles in Brussels”, hotel
bars will offer a tasting formula at € 19 per person. Carte d'Or, Brut nature and Rosé: three
Drappier vintages will take pride of place. Paired with the champagnes offered, the
appetizers will include chicory, shrimp and/or speculoos biscuits, three ingredients that have
been very much in favour during Brusselicious 2012. What better way to delight your taste
buds in a festive atmosphere!
With the support of VISITBRUSSELS and the Drappier Champagne House.
