WORLD'S BIGGEST TASTING OF ENGLISH SPARKLING WINES

Thursday 1 March will see a tasting of 90 UK-grown sparkling wines take place at what is being called "The Judgement of Parsons Green II". This tasting, carried out by a line-up of some of the UK's best known sparkling wine experts, will pitch bottle-fermented sparkling wines from the UK against Champagne and other non-UK sparkling wines.

This tasting follows a similar tasting held last year - when only 52 UK-grown sparkling wines were tasted, which showed that UK-grown wines more than held their own, when they held seven of the top ten places.
