Here is what was in my Winter box.
Degustbox says: 'Montano is an elegantly crafted Italian cider made from apples grown in the foothills of the Dolomites. These orchards are the highest in Europe enjoying fresh mountain air and over 300 days of sunshine each year. The result is a golden, elegantly sparkling, medium-dry cider with a refreshing, crisp finish. Available in Tesco stores and Strada restaurants.'
My partner tried this as am I not a big cider lover. He enjoyed it, liked the taste and said he would repurchase it if he seen it in stores.
Degustabox says: 'Back by popular demand, KETTLE® Chips is reintroducing two of its most loved seasonings as limited editions for Christmas. Salsa & Mesquite was one of the original seasonings when the brand first launched in 1988; it combines tomatoes, chillies, peppers and the aroma of barbecues. Stilton & Port is a rich and distinctive flavour which brings together the creamy notes of Stilton cheese with the sweetness of port wine.'
Kettle chips have always been a favourite of mine so I was excited to see a new flavour. I am not a big Salsa lover but these chips had a great taste and extremely moreish.
Degustabox says: 'Cool Dawn Recovery Drink is a herbal detox drink that helps to prevent and cure hangovers. It presents a complex and unique combination of citrus and licorice flavours. Contains no stimulant ingredients and is not carbonated. We recommend to have one full cold and shaken can towards the end of the night and another one in the morning if still needed.'
I have not tried these as I have not had a hangover yet. Perfect for the festive season though.
Degustabox says: 'Lovingly crafted by the Lindt Master Chocolatiers, Lindor My Melting Moment allows you to melt away in a moment of pure bliss. Elegantly wrapped the snowflake shape is filled with irresistibly smooth melting Lindor milk chocolate.'
Five little melting moments mmmm. If you have not tried these yet I advise you go and pick some up. Lindt chocolate with smooth creamy chocolate inside. These would make perfect stocking fillers.
Degustabox says: 'Kent’s Kitchen flavour shots are a brilliantly quick and easy way to jazz up diced meat or prawns. These clever gel shots coat the meat or prawns whilst cooking and add a delicious taste to enhance meals. Perfect for wraps, with rice or jacket potatoes, on a salad or even to coat pasta.'
I have not tried these yet but I am looking forward to popping them with some chicken and some pasta.
Degustabox says: ‘Pip Organic is a family run, London based business that produces an award winning range of pure organic juices and smoothies available in a range of take home, grab & go and children’s formats Following environmentally sustainable principles and made from 100% organic fruit, all of our drinks are not from concentrate and contain NO added sugars, water, preservatives or additives. Pip, Pip Hooray!’
My partner tried these and throughly enjoyed them. He said the only downside was that the bottle was quite small.
Degustabox says: 'Create the perfect dining experience with NEW Branston Chutney! Caramelised Onion works perfectly with any after dinner cheese and bread, and the distinctive taste of Mediterranean Tomato goes well with smoky meats, cheddar and biscuits. Available in-store now, the delicious, versatile range is set to become an everyday staple.'
I am not a big chutney lovely but my partners mum tried this. She said it goes perfect with some crackers as a quick snack.
Degustabox says: 'We love our home cooked food – it’s very different from what you find in an Indian restaurant in the UK! Everyday home-cooked Indian food has delicate layers of flavour. It’s simple, healthy food'
We used these with some chicken and lamb. The packet says they serve 2. They do but there is not a lot of sauce to go around so if you don't mind just a light covering of sauce these a perfect idea for a quick dinner.
