The World’s Finest Glass of Bubbly Awards 2018 Results
29th November 2018
The results are in from The World’s Finest Glass of Bubbly Awards 2018. We would like to thank every wine label that submitted their wines to be judged by over 50 of the world’s top wine professionals over two days at one of our main sponsors Marriott County Hall Hotel in Westminster. Each wine went through a detailed tasting to not only score it points for a medal, but also place it in a relevant category for the chance to win a trophy. Our judging was led by Chairman of Judges Marin Berovic and Champagne author and our Honorary Judge Michael Edwards.
