Mateus, the Portuguese rosé wine distributed in the UK by First Drinks, is running a sampling programme at this year’s Mayor’s Thames Festival on 12th and 13th September. The wine brand will also be trying to break the world record for the world’s biggest ‘cheers’.

TV presenter and chef, Simon Rimmer, will be hosting the record attempt and starting the toast on Sunday 13th September.

The Festival takes place on the South Bank, and the 30,000 consumers expected to attend will be sampled with the full Mateus range, including Mateus Sparkling. The brand will also be hosting its own Hyde Park-style ‘speakers’ corner,’ to give people the chance to propose a toast of their own.
