A decade of sparkling wine excellence will be celebrated in style with the publication of A Billion Bubbles, an elegant book marking the tenth anniversary of the prestigious The World's Finest Glass of Bubbly Awards.
Publishers Walton and Graham are working in association with Glass of Bubbly to create the fully illustrated volume, which will showcase and explore the remarkable wines, vineyards and producers that have shaped the competition since its launch.
At the heart of the book will be an in-depth celebration of the winners of The World's Finest Glass of Bubbly Awards 2026. Each victorious wine will be presented through its story, its origins and its distinctive character, creating a lasting record of an important anniversary year for the international sparkling wine industry.
The book will also revisit every edition of the awards from 2017 to 2025, charting the competition’s development and presenting the producers and wines that have earned recognition over the past decade.
While Champagne will naturally command attention, A Billion Bubbles will travel far beyond France’s most famous sparkling wine. Its pages will explore the energy of Prosecco, the precision of German Sekt, the rapid rise of English Sparkling Wine and the rich traditions of Spanish Cava. It will reveal a sparkling wine world defined by diversity, craftsmanship and an increasingly confident sense of place.
All the editorial content in this section is presented in both English and French, translation being undertaken by a native French speaker.
James Graham, Editor at Walton and Graham, said: “A Billion Bubbles will capture the sound, colour and excitement of ten extraordinary years. Every cork tells a story and this book will bring together the people, places and bottles that have made The World's Finest Glass of Bubbly Awards such an important celebration of sparkling wine.”
Designed for wine lovers, collectors, professionals and curious readers, the book will combine authoritative editorial content with elegant photography and sophisticated production. Editorial content on the wines will appear in both English and French, reflecting the international reach of the awards and the universal appeal of sparkling wine.
Graham added: “This is far more than a roll call of winners. It will be a journey through vineyards, cellars and regions, revealing the skill behind each bottle and the ambition driving today’s producers. We want readers to feel that they have travelled through the modern sparkling wine world without leaving their favourite chair.”
A Billion Bubbles will be sold directly through the Walton and Graham website. It will also be made available to vineyard shops, the wider book trade and specialist retailers serving wine enthusiasts.
The publication will offer producers an enduring showcase while giving readers a beautifully presented guide to some of the finest sparkling wines available today. It will celebrate established names while also shining a light on ambitious producers whose wines are challenging expectations and redefining quality.
Graham said: “Sparkling wine is no longer a story dominated by one region or one tradition. It is a global movement filled with invention, personality and confidence. A Billion Bubbles will raise a glass to that movement and create a book worthy of this landmark anniversary.”
