Our 2026 wine writing competition

Wine pairings aren’t just about food. Which wine would you most like to drink while listening to a favourite album or reading a good book? Do you have an ideal pairing for Barbie, the Mona Lisa or Don Giovanni? We’d love to hear about it, so get writing and send us your entry to our annual writing competition, this year on the theme of A great pairing.

 

Full details are here. Deadline for submissions is 22 June 2026

 

For inspiration, take a look at last year’s competition entries.
