Champagne is in half of all the orders we deliver, and one bottle leads everything else by a wide margin: Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label. We deliver wine, champagne and gifts across London around the clock, so our order book is a fair record of what the city reaches for and when. These are the patterns from the twelve months to 11 November 2026.
Half of all orders include at least one bottle of champagne. The shares below add up to more than 100% because one order can contain several kinds of drink.
| Category | Share of orders that include it |
|---|---|
| Champagne | 50% |
| Wine | 21% |
| Whisky | 11% |
| Tequila | 7% |
| Chocolates | 5% |
| Vodka | 5% |
| Beer | 4% |
The first seven places all go to champagne, and Veuve Clicquot takes two of the top five.
The most-ordered still wine is Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon, in eighth place overall. The most-ordered spirit is Hibiki Harmony Japanese whisky, in ninth.
Orders build through the morning, with a first peak between 11am and noon, and are busiest in the late afternoon. The single busiest hour is 5pm to 6pm, and about a fifth of the day's orders arrive between 3pm and 6pm, when people are sorting out the evening ahead.
The night matters too. One order in ten is placed between midnight and 6am, and more than a quarter of all orders come in between 8pm and 6am. Demand never falls to nothing: orders arrive in every hour of the day, with the quietest stretch between 4am and 6am.
Across the week, Friday is the busiest day, with more than twice as many orders as Sunday, the quietest. Monday to Thursday are steady and close to one another.
December brings about two and a half times the orders of a typical month. If you are planning gifts or a party, order early in the month and choose your delivery day. Our champagne delivery and wine delivery pages show what is in stock now.
The figures cover every order placed with Drinks House 247 between 12 November 2025 and 11 November 2026. Shares are of orders, not bottles or value, and are rounded. Times are UK local time when the order was placed. Journalists and researchers are welcome to quote these figures with a link to this page. For further breakdowns, email sales@drinkshouse247.co.uk.

Dry, high-acid whites such as Chablis and Sancerre, and brut champagne, are the classic matches for smoked salmon. Here is why they work, what to avoid and how cold to serve them.
