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. The deadline for submissions has now passed. We’ll begin publishing the best of them in mid July and throughout August. 

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