Champagne Show Trade Masterclasses
1pm - 1:45pm: Coravin Sparkling Masterclass
Join us to hear the extraordinary story of Coravin – pioneering technology which has revolutionised the world of wine since launching a decade ago. Now relied upon by renowned wineries and restaurants across the globe to serve perfect quality wines by-the-glass, Coravin gives wine lovers at home the freedom to enjoy wine on their own terms, without the need to compromise or the pressure to finish a bottle.
This masterclass will focus on Coravin Sparkling, which offers perfect preservation of Champagnes for an astounding four weeks after opening the bottle. The session will include two ‘dare to compare’ blind tastings. If you can correctly identify the Champagne samples opened and preserved with Coravin Sparkling 3+ weeks before the show, compared to control bottles opened on the day, you will be awarded a Coravin Sparkling System (RRP £399.99) for your efforts!
2pm – 2:45pm: Coteaux Champenois by Piper-Heidsieck’s Chef de Cave Emilien Boutillat

Join this masterclass hosted by Piper-Heidsiecks chef de cave, Emilien Boutillat and Dawn Davies MW, where we will taste and discuss the differences in these stunning wines alongside the Piper-Heidseick Essentiel Blanc de Noir Champagne in the exclusive UK debut.
