The Sommelier Collective

THE SOMMELIER COLLECTIVE AWARDS 2022

Submit your wines

The deadline for entry for the Champagne category is: Friday 24 June, 2022. (extended)

Champagne has recovered quickly from Covid, and is ready for a bumper year in the UK on-trade. But competition is fierce, and it’s harder than ever to attract a sommelier’s attention.

The Sommelier Collective’s Champagne Awards will be the most focused on-trade tasting of Champagnes in the UK. We’ll have teams of top sommeliers tasting and scoring all the wines from a hospitality perspective, looking for value, character and typicity – but also for the best wines to use for By The Glass, Group Dining or in a Preservation System.

It’s a tasting that’s totally tailored to the needs of the on-trade, and if hospitality is important to your business then you need to be a part of it.

Complete this form for each wine you are entering. If you are entering multiple wines you can email us for an Excel file to complete.
