South Africans are raising their glasses today as the country marks Cap Classique Day, a celebration of locally crafted sparkling wine made in the traditional French method. Known for its elegance and fine bubbles, Cap Classique has become a proud symbol of South African winemaking, enjoyed around the world.
This year’s festivities also highlight sabrage, the centuries-old art of opening a bottle with a swift strike, demonstrated by Weltevrede Wine Estate’s Steyn Fullard using everyday objects.
Adding to the sparkle is the Philip Jonker Cap Classique Collection, which showcases both crisp summer styles and complex celebratory vintages. Whether enjoyed with a twist, a daring sabrage or a toast among friends, Cap Classique Day is a reminder of the country’s world-class wine tradition.

Rare Socorro dove hatches spark conservation hope
Story 3
Conservationists at Chester Zoo in the UK are celebrating the successful hatching of eight chicks from the ultra-rare Socorro dove.
The species has been extinct in the wild since 1972, surviving only in specialised breeding programmes across Europe and North America.
The chicks, known as squabs, bring fresh hope for the future of the species, with just 200 birds making up the global population.
Chester Zoo cares for two breeding pairs, and experts say more eggs may soon be on the way.
Socorro doves once lived on Socorro Island off Mexico but were wiped out by habitat destruction and feral cats.
