A Battle of the Bubbles: English Sparkling VS French Champagne
-
1 review - Fiz Bar Soho
Description
The Entente Cordiale might have been signed over 100 years ago, but Anglo-French rivalry has been simmering ever since. On Tuesday 1st August the gloves will be off as sparkling wine pop-up Fiz plays host to the latest battleground - BUBBLY!
Fiz is hosting a one-night-only event that will see English sparklings go tête-à-tête with French champagnes, to test the theory that champagnes are the most superior sparklings in the world, or whether they can be usurped by their cross-channel English cousins for both flavour and value. The winning wine will be awarded a place on the menu at Fiz’s permanent London location next year.
Guests will be presented with four English sparkling wines, four French champagnes and a scorecard. The wines will be carefully concealed, stripping the drinks of all preconceptions that their brand names or bottle shapes might create, letting the bubbles speak for themselves. Throughout the evening attendees will sample and score all eight wines, before the grand reveal at the end to crown the winner.
Flying the flag for England will be wines from estates, such as
Hush Heath,
Ridgeview,
Nyetimber,
Camel Valley,
In the French corner will be champagnes including
Moët & Chandon,
Bollinger,
Veuve Clicquot,
Laurent-Perrier.
Local meats and cheeses from Peckham-based Butchers block and Cheeses of Muswell Hill will be served alongside the wines.
So roll up roll up, rally your friends and prepare an evening brimming with bubbles, full of fun and hopefully packing a few surprises. Come on England!
