Champagne & English Sparkling Wine Tasting
VIEW COLLECTION
Marylebone Store, Wednesday 13th November, @ 7pm - £70
What better way to embrace the festive spirit than by popping a few bottles of France’s best bubbly and England’s finest fizz?
Join us at Philglas & Swiggot Marylebone for a stellar line-up of sparkling wines from two of our favourite regions.
We’ll look at the wines and producers that have brought English Sparkling to global fame and secured the nation’s place at the top table of the fine wine world.
Each English wine will be served alongside (or against!) a Champagne in the same style, giving us a unique opportunity to compare different expressions of traditional method sparkling wine as they are produced in each region.
Can the English upstarts claim to be the toast of sparkling wine, or will Champagne reign supreme?
We’ll look at the similarities between the wines and discuss what makes each one unique. But most important of all, we’ll be sharing some of our favourite producers and pouring six truly exceptional sparkling wines for you to enjoy.
This one is not to be missed!
A complimentary cheese and charcuterie sharing board will also be provided. Tickets can be purchased online or in-store.

Terroir. What is it good for?
BUY TICKETS
Battersea Store, Wednesday 7th November, 7:30pm - £40
Why do wines from different countries taste so different, even when they're made from the same grape varieties? Join Tom and the gang at Philglas & Swiggot in Battersea to take a deep dive into the murky world of "terroir".
We'll examine the impact of climate, soil, viticulture and more by comparing the same grapes when they're grown in different regions across the world. Is Burgundy Chardonnay better than the Margaret River? Can South Africa bring us Cabernet Sauvignon to rival Bordeaux? Come and find out with us on Thursday 7th November with, of course, our complimentary charcuterie board!

Join us for an evening exploring the wines of two celebrated Burgundy producers, with whites from Domaine Jean-Paul et Benoît Droin, based in Chablis, and reds from Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet, based in the Northern Côte-de-Nuits village of Fixin.
Focussing on two of the region’s star winemakers, Amélie Berthaut-Gerbet and Benoît Droin, we will explore what sets their wines apart and how they and others in the region have continued to innovate and push the boundaries of what Burgundy wine can achieve.
Domaine Jean-Paul et Benoît Droin boasts 400 years of winemaking history in the village of Chablis, but has risen to new heights of excellence under the stewardship of 14th-generation Benoît Droin to become one of the foremost domaines in the region, famed for consistently producing quality at every level of the appellation system.
Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet is another historic estate that has risen to global fame in recent years. Working in one of the Côte d’Or’s lesser-known villages, Amélie Berthaut-Gerbet makes stylish and captivating reds that showcase Fixin’s potential and are now among Burgundy’s most coveted wines.
This tasting will be a rare opportunity to enjoy and compare wines from different levels of the Burgundy appellation system side-by-side, from Regional level wines all the way up to Grand Cru. We will discuss the many factors that make Burgundy and its wines so renowned.
