Oxford's new luxury hotel The Store has announced a prosecco partnership with Cara Delevigne and her sisters.
Simon Drake, general manager of the 101-boutique hotel, opened it on May 7.
The hotel is on the corner of Broad Street and Cornmarket Street and features Treadwell restaurant on the ground floor and a stunning rooftop bar.

Mr Drake has ensured that the history of the site - the hotel is situated where Boswells' department store used to be - is reflected throughout the building, with artwork and posters a permanent reminder of its past.
Della Vite is the Prosecco brand launched by the Delevingne sisters Poppy, Chloe and Cara, and they will have launched summer residency on The Roof at The Store, a new bar overlooking the city and the dreaming spires of Oxford.
Running until August 2, the residency will feature bespoke Della Vite-infused cocktails, including head barman Justin Rinker's modern-take on classics including a French 75, to the more avant-garde Old Fashioned.
According to the Delevigne sisters, Della Vite us made exclusively from handpicked Glera grapes, grown on the upper elevation of the Valdobbiadene valley, the rich and extra dry wine has a highly mineral palate that lingers.

Cara Delevigne is a model and actress. She signed with Storm Management after leaving school in 2009, and won Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards in 2012 and 2014. She has also received three Teen Choice Awards and nominations for a British Independent Film Award and an MTV Movie & TV Award.
Chloe Delevigne moved from London to Finstock in Oxfordshire with her family about 10 years ago.
Della Vite will be 'exclusive' to Oxford at The Roof at The Store during that time and not available anywhere else in the city.
While the rooftop bar is a big attraction at the hotel, its flagship restaurant Treadwell has also been very busy.

Mr Robinson has an impressive CV - he has previously held positions in multi-Rosette and Michelin starred kitchens in Johannesburg, South Africa, and the UK.
This has enabled him to create menus with a twist - he has introduced ‘untraditionally British’ dishes to Oxford, including a Ruby Murray chicken pie, Bangers of Mash with a Cajun gravy, and Rosemary and Thyme Brined Pork Tomahawk.
And on Sundays, guests can enjoy family-style sharing roasts, including lemon and thyme chicken, a rotation of additional roasts, and a vegan option of Agave Glazed Mustard and Herb Seitan.
