Need an excuse to join us – how about this: English Sparkling classed as Best in The World
NEWS!
For the first time ever, in September 2025, the International Wine Challenge (IWC) have given an English wine the Champion Sparkling Wine (Daniel Thibault Trophy) award.
The accolade went to south-east English winery Nyetimber’s Blanc de Blancs Magnum 2016, which had already secured both the English Sparkling Trophy and the English Blanc de Blancs Trophy.
Nyetimber was doubly victorious this year, with its head winemaker Cherie Spriggs named Sparkling Winemaker of the Year for the second time.
To further add to the achievements of English producers, Gloucestershire-based winery Kingsthorne’s Seyval Blanc, Brut 2017 won Best Wine in First Year of Production.
Overall, this year proved to be successful for England – it claimed 15 gold medals (two more than last year), putting it in ninth place.
