It’s high time, then, that its finest examples receive their due recognition. Enter The Prosecco Masters 2026, this year’s biggest and most extensive blind tasting of Prosecco.

An elite panel of refined palates, led by the drinks business’ editor-in-chief, Patrick Schmitt MW, will taste their way through the best fizz to determine the true Masters of Prosecco.
