Corks have been popping all over the world this week as the Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships hosted its Virtual Awards Week announcing a total of 36 trophies to the greatest sparkling wine producers from around the globe.

The week kicked off announcing the Best in Class winners followed by the virtual audience being able to discover the 13 Regional Champions, 12 National Champions and finishing the week off with the announcement of 7 World Champions, the Supreme World Champion, the Tony Jordan Rising Star Award, The Sparkling Wine Producer of the Year and the Chairman’s Trophy!

The title of Best Hungarian Sparkling Wine was nominated to the Sauska NV Brut in the 2021 Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships.

For the first time since the competition began, the World Champion Trophy Awards had never been so close with Best in Class winners from around the world batting it out to be crowned with a CSWWC trophy. The judges were delighted to crown Dom Ruinart with the supreme world champion trophy for their Dom Ruinart 2004 Rosé in Magnum.

The Chairman’s Trophy, this year went to Carassia for the NV Rosé  (for surprising the judges with its impressive performance in the Supreme World Champion taste-off, when it shone beautifully in third position) and The Tony Jordan Rising Star Trophy went to Abrau-Durso Russian Sparkling Wine House (for a quantum leap forward in quality on previous years).

Founder and chair of judges Tom Stevenson commented “Last year was memorable for obvious reasons, but who could have imagined at the start of 2020 that we would still be battling a pandemic in 2021, even though we were even less sure of finding a single working vaccine.

  1. I read about these wins in your paper & went to my local LCBO where we are allowed to purchase spirits and beer. They didn’t have a single bottle of anything from Hungary. I was surprised since Chester is known to be the village where homes are owned by multinational billionaires. Birks, Levy jeans, Clearwater Seafood, past politicians,

    Infact just yesterdays’ local paper has a long article about Dr. Maria Eva Vass-Salazar the Ambassador of the Rep. of Hungary being with world renowned Xaver Varnus at his concert hall. He recently bought and remodeled a church in the rural community of Brooklyn Nova Scotia, where a private by invitation only party was held for her visit. Hope she liked the many wonderful wines of our local regional small vineyards.
