Champagne Bubbles Set to Spark Auction Frenzy This Season
Champagne auction hero banner

Across the UK, several auction houses are turning their attention to champagne, positioning the sparkling wine as a headline draw in upcoming sales. Bourne End Auction Rooms, known for its diverse beverage offerings, has announced a series of auctions that will feature champagne alongside premium wines and spirits. The house emphasizes the breadth of its catalogue, inviting bidders to explore both well‑known houses and rare, lesser‑known producers, with the expectation that the fizz will attract both seasoned collectors and new enthusiasts.

Later this year, Windsor Auctions will host a timed auction that includes champagne as a core component of its beverage lineup, paired with fine wines, spirits and port. The event is scheduled to run over a single day, with viewing periods that allow participants to assess the bottles before the bidding window closes. Organisers highlight the growing appetite for vintage champagne, noting that recent market activity has driven up interest in older releases and limited‑edition cuvées.

Brightwells Auctioneers is also gearing up for a two‑day sale that bundles champagne with a curated selection of wine, port and whisky. The house points to a trend of multi‑day formats that give bidders more time to research and place offers, while also offering online participation for a broader audience. Among the lots are everyday drinking options as well as rarities such as pre‑World War II bottles and bottles from celebrated harvests, underscoring a market that values both accessibility and exclusivity.

Together, these events illustrate a clear shift: champagne is no longer a peripheral item but a centerpiece of beverage auctions. Auctioneers are responding with dedicated listings, extended viewing periods and digital platforms, catering to a surge in demand for sparkling wine that combines heritage, rarity and the celebratory allure that buyers seek.
