Win a case of Airbourne sparkling wine from Gusbourne
English sparkling wine is reaching new heights. British Airways Club World cabins will now be serving Gusbourne’s Airbourne Reserve 2021 – so that you can sip bubbles while floating above the clouds. Chosen for its high-altitude exceptionality, the Kent-based estate’s sparkling wine isn’t just for indulging while your feet are on solid ground.
