English Sparkling Wine Stars in Bolney’s First National TV Ad

If you love English sparkling wine, you’ll soon spot something familiar on TV. For the first time in over fifty years of winemaking, we’ve created a national television advert — a chance to bring a little bit of our Sussex vineyard into living rooms across the UK this festive season.

The campaign will run from 24 November to 7 December 2025 across ITV, Channel 4, Sky, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video.

We’ve always believed English sparkling wine has a brilliant story to tell. Now, this campaign is our way of sharing a small piece of that story with more people.

Why We Decided to Go on TV

Interest in English wine has never been higher. More people want to know how it’s made, what makes cool-climate vineyards special, and why Sussex in particular is producing such standout sparkling wines. Over the past five years, UK wine production has grown from 10.7 million bottles to 12.4 million, showing steady growth and that more people are buying English wine than ever before (WineGB, 2025).

This felt like the right moment to showcase English winemaking and all the ways it captivates the senses.

What to Expect on Screen

The advert takes you on the journey of Bolney Estate wines, from winter rain nourishing the vines, to summer sun ripening the grapes, through the careful attention each stage of winemaking receives. You see the blending, the fine-tuning, and finally a bottle of Bolney Classic Cuvée sparkling wine standing proudly on a dinner table, ready to be opened and shared with friends at a party. It’s a chance to show the patience, skill, and character that go into every glass of Sussex wine.

Creating the Advert

We worked closely with Jones Millbank, a Bristol-based video production agency, to bring the vineyard to life on screen. We chose them for their experience capturing real locations with authenticity and cinematic flair.

The production shows the journey of our wines, with time-lapses capturing changing British weather, growing vines, and a sped-up tour through all the seasons. Cinematic lighting and careful composition highlight the vineyard’s slopes, soil textures, and ripening fruit. Every frame makes you feel like you’re stepping into the vineyard yourself.
