The Christmas Wine-challenge!

Bubbles, Surprises & a Festive Blind Tasting Can you tell Champagne from another sparkling wine? Recognise a grape variety without seeing the label? Or identify a wine using nothing but your senses? This Christmas, we're adding a little mystery, a touch of competition and plenty of festive cheer to our glasses! Join the EU Sommelier Association for a special Christmas tasting where wine knowledge meets curiosity, discovery and fun. Forget the usual tasting format — this time, your palate takes centre stage! We'll explore a festive selection of wines, with bubbles taking a starring role, and discover what makes a wine truly worthy of a celebration. But there is a twist… 🍷 The Christmas Wine Challenge! Get ready to put your tasting skills to the test in a friendly blind tasting competition. Can you identify a wine's style, grape variety or origin? Will the most expensive wine be everyone's favourite? And can you trust your palate when the label is hidden? Whether you're an experienced wine enthusiast or simply enjoy discovering something new, everyone can join the fun. No expert knowledge required — just curiosity and a willingness to play! Along the way, we'll explore what makes great sparkling wines so distinctive, how to choose wines for Christmas celebrations and which styles can surprise your guests around the festive table. Expect an evening of: • Bubbles & beyond — festive wines to discover, compare and enjoy. • Blind tasting surprises — put your senses to work and challenge your assumptions. • A friendly wine competition — test your palate and see how you compare with fellow wine lovers. • Christmas inspiration — discover wines worth sharing during the festive season. And perhaps a few surprises along the way… Because the best Christmas celebrations are not just about the wines we drink, but about the memories we create together. THE CHRISTMAS WINES Our festive selection will be revealed on the evening. After all, a little mystery is part of the challenge! Ready to take the Christmas Wine Challenge?
