The Champagne and Sparkling Wine World Championship (CSWWC) is not only the largest and most comprehensive but also the most rigorous, professional and well respected international sparkling wine competition in the world. With all entries - a record-breaking 1073 samples - tasted blind by the same three judges it’s all about the quality about what is in the glass rather than how good it might sound on paper. The prestige of the world competition is shown by the fact that the most important sparkling wine wineries and Champagne Houses also take part in it, and the jury consists of renowned specialists: in addition to Tom Stevenson, Founder and Chairman, Essi Avellan Master of Wine and for the first time this year Simon Stockton master champagne expert judged the wines. Traditionally, only gold and silver medals are announced in the competition, so only the truly outstanding items will receive prizes, which also requires the unanimous decision of the jury members.
