Effervescents du Monde to gather global sparkling wine experts in Burgundy for 2025 competition

The 23rd edition of Effervescents du Monde, an international competition dedicated to sparkling wines, will take place in Burgundy, France, in November 2025. This annual event is recognized for bringing together the largest and most diverse selection of sparkling wines from around the globe. Organizers expect to receive 650 wine samples representing 25 countries, making it one of the most comprehensive gatherings of its kind.

Effervescents du Monde is known for its rigorous approach to judging and organization. The competition will feature 100 expert judges from various countries, with half of them coming from outside France. These judges are selected through a careful process and receive training in tasting methodology at the Institut Paul Bocuse. Each judge undergoes individual assessment to ensure consistency and expertise during the evaluation process.

The event follows strict international wine competition rules. The organizers limit the number of wines each jury tastes to maintain high standards and avoid palate fatigue. Tasting sessions are conducted under controlled conditions, including sensory isolation and a regulated pace, to ensure that each wine is judged fairly. The results are processed securely by Services Actions Qualité, a company specializing in quality assurance for competitions.

Effervescents du Monde aims to highlight diversity, quality, and high standards in sparkling wine production. The competition’s ambition is to award medals that are both reliable and representative of the best sparkling wines worldwide. The event’s reputation has grown over the years due to its commitment to transparency and excellence.

Producers interested in participating must deliver their samples by October 16, 2025. The results of the competition will be announced on Monday, November 24, 2025, at 6 p.m. local time.
