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

The 23rd annual Effervescents du Monde competition is set to take place from November 18 to 21, 2025, in Burgundy, France. This event brings together sparkling wine producers and experts from around the world to evaluate and celebrate the best sparkling wines on the market. Organizers expect to receive 650 wine samples from 25 countries, making it one of the most diverse gatherings in the industry.

Effervescents du Monde has built a reputation for its rigorous approach to judging. The panel will include 100 international expert judges, with half coming from outside France. These judges are selected through a careful process and receive training in tasting methodology at the Institut Paul Bocuse. Each taster is individually assessed to ensure consistency and expertise.

The competition follows strict international wine competition rules. Wines are judged under controlled conditions, with measures in place to ensure sensory isolation and an appropriate tasting rhythm. The number of wines each jury tastes is limited to maintain high standards. Results are processed securely by Services Actions Qualité, a company specializing in quality assurance.

Producers wishing to participate must deliver their samples by October 16, 2025. The event’s organizers emphasize their commitment to diversity, quality, and high standards. Their goal is to award medals that reliably represent the best sparkling wines from around the globe.

Effervescents du Monde stands out for its ambition and scope. It not only highlights established regions but also gives emerging producers a chance to showcase their wines on an international stage. The competition’s results are closely watched by industry professionals and consumers alike, as they often influence trends and buying decisions in the sparkling wine market.

Burgundy, known for its rich winemaking tradition, provides an ideal setting for this global event. Over four days, judges will taste and score entries in conditions designed to ensure fairness and accuracy. The winners will be announced at the end of the competition, with medals awarded based on strict criteria.

This year’s edition continues Effervescents du Monde’s mission to promote excellence in sparkling wine production worldwide. By bringing together a diverse group of experts and samples from across continents, the event aims to reflect the evolving landscape of sparkling wine and set benchmarks for quality in the industry.
