Effervescents du Monde to Gather Record Number of Sparkling Wine Producers in Burgundy

Effervescents du Monde, one of the most recognized international competitions for sparkling wines, will hold its 23rd edition in Burgundy, France, in November 2025. The event is set to bring together a record number of sparkling wine producers and industry professionals from around the globe. Organizers expect to receive 650 wine samples representing 25 countries, making it one of the most geographically diverse gatherings in the competition’s history.

The competition is known for its rigorous judging process. A panel of 100 international expert judges will evaluate the entries over several days. These judges include sommeliers, oenologists, wine journalists, and other professionals with extensive experience in tasting and evaluating sparkling wines. Their task is to assess each sample based on criteria such as aroma, flavor, balance, and overall quality.

Effervescents du Monde has built a reputation for highlighting both established and emerging producers. The event provides a platform for lesser-known wineries to gain international recognition alongside some of the world’s most prestigious sparkling wine houses. Past winners have included producers from traditional regions like Champagne and Prosecco, as well as newer entrants from countries such as Brazil, South Africa, and England.

The competition takes place in Burgundy, a region with a long history of winemaking and a growing reputation for high-quality sparkling wines. The location offers participants access to state-of-the-art tasting facilities and an environment that encourages exchange between experts from different backgrounds.

Producers interested in participating must submit their samples by October 16, 2025. Registration details and further information are available on the official website. The event not only serves as a contest but also as a meeting point for industry professionals to discuss trends, techniques, and challenges facing the sparkling wine sector.

Effervescents du Monde continues to attract attention from both established brands and newcomers seeking to make their mark on the global stage. The results of the competition are closely watched by importers, distributors, and consumers looking for quality sparkling wines from around the world. As the deadline approaches, organizers anticipate strong participation reflecting the growing popularity and diversity of sparkling wines internationally.
