Give your Champagne the ‘glam squad’ treatment

Coco Chanel recommended taking off the last item you put on before leaving the house to avoid looking overdressed. But if the last thing to adorn your Champagne is a Masters medal then we reckon it's worth keeping. Enter your wine into the Champagne Masters 2025 and give your bottle some bling. Coco Chanel also famously said that "a girl should be two things: classy and fabulous", and we couldn't agree more. If you think your Champagne has what it takes to meet this strident criteria then don't miss out on the chance to enter your exceptional fizz into the Champagne Masters 2025. The only blind tasting competition dedicated to Champagne in the UK, the Champagne Masters assesses the very best expressions on the market, from small growers to grandes marques, with no prior knowledge of producer. Instead, wines are sorted by style and price before being tasted by some of the finest palates in the world: a panel of Masters of Wine, Master Sommeliers and senior Champagne buyers only. The competition will be chaired by editor-in-chief of the drinks business, Patrick Schmitt MW.

Shout it from the rooftops

Worthy wines will be awarded Bronze, Silver and Gold medals, with the best-in-class receiving the highest accolade of Champagne Master. Furthermore, our judges will select one overall outstanding wine that impressed above all others on the day, singling it out as as the Grand Master. The results will be published in April in db's dedicated annual Champagne report. They will also be republished online on the website, in our daily newsletter and on all social media platforms. You can check out last year's impressive haul of winners here. Deadline for entry is 19 February 2025. To enter your Champagne, please contact Sophie Raichura at sophie.raichura@unionpress.co.uk
