(SPOT.ph) With the yuletide rush fast approaching, the savviest hosts among us are already planning their holiday feasts. It’s always a good idea to start the prep early, so you can make sure everything’s on deck for Noche Buena: lechon, Christmas ham, queso de bola, bibingka, and puto bumbong, and other family classics. But to elevate the usual holiday fare, finding the right drink is key, too. Fret not; there’s still time to shop for the perfect wine to go with your holiday spreads! And luckily, The Marketplace offers a convenient place to grab great-quality vino, whether you’re a casual sipper or a seasoned connoisseur.

Toast to the holidays with The Marketplace’s new Vivino partnership:
The Marketplace offers a wide selection of wines that you can stock up on for your holiday parties. And in a landmark partnership, The Marketplace teams up with Vivino to make wine shopping a breeze, even for novices. Dipping a toe in wine tasting can (understandably) be intimidating, especially when faced with a sweeping selection of reds, whites, and rosés at the wine fair or on supermarket shelves—but thanks the app, there’s no need to be a wine expert to secure the right bottle for parties and holiday events.
The handy app takes the guesswork out of picking your next drink. Just whip out your phone, scan the barcode of any wine at The Marketplace, and unlock everything you need to know about the bottle you're holding. We're talking history, tasting notes, user reviews, prices, and even serving suggestions—all at your fingertips to make wine-buying easier than ever.
Vivino, an online wine marketplace and wine app, connects a large community of wine enthusiasts around the world. The app allows users to share reviews and recommendations on a wide variety of wines online, helping other users get the scoop on bottles straight from fellow oenophiles. What’s even better? Vivino even helps users find local retailers, so it’s easy to snag the perfect vino even for last-minute gifts and potluck needs during Christmas and beyond.
In a bid to showcase some of the offerings from the world’s top wine regions, The Marketplace also hosted the annual four-day Wine Fair Sale Event earlier this month, with festive deals on popular and highly rated wines.
The Marketplace is a premium grocery shop in Metro Manila and a subsidiary of Robinsons Retail Holdings Inc.
