- Major trophy scoop for SPAR in-house liquids
- SPAR Prosecco proves bubbliest budget option
- 44 awards span SPAR’s revamped and repackaged wine portfolio
SPAR has achieved 44 medals across 23 own label wines at three of the industry’s most prestigious competitions: the Decanter World Wine Awards (DWWA), International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC), and International Wine Challenge (IWC).
SPAR’s Valdobbiadene Prosecco scooped a Gold medal and Value Award recognition at this year’s Decanter World Wine Awards, firmly positioning it as one of the UK’s best sparkling wines under £10.
The judges awarded the Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Superiore a score of 95 points, praising it as: “Authentic and pure with a drive of green apple, lemon and pear drop which merges flawlessly with the supple, orange blossom mousse. Zippy and crisp on the finish.” Alc 11 per cent and RSP £9.99.
The awards are recognised as the world’s largest and most influential wine competition, judged by top international experts. SPAR’s awar- winning Prosecco was further honoured as a Top 30 Value Gold winner, a recognition reserved for wines under £15 that demonstrate exceptional quality and finesse.
“We are delighted to see our Valdobbiadene Prosecco recognised at such a high level,” said Amrit Rebello, Sales Development Manager. “Earning one of just two Gold medals awarded to Prosecco in the UK is a tremendous achievement. It’s a testament to the fact that exceptional wine doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. Ours delivers quality, freshness and character at outstanding value.”
Alongside the flagship Prosecco, several award wins came from SPAR’s own-label value wine tier, developed last year to offer customers a trusted, great-tasting wine experience at an accessible price point. The range, which includes a crisp white, fresh rosé and fruity red, was carefully selected and benchmarked by Philippa Carr MW, to reflect the flavour profiles SPAR shoppers know and love.
Each wine in the value tier reflects SPAR’s commitment to combining taste, quality and value, and now proudly carries the endorsement of some of the most respected judging panels in the global wine industry.
The 44 awards span SPAR’s revamped and repackaged wine portfolio, including the newly launched Uptempo and Tasteheads ranges, both designed to meet evolving shopper preferences with bold flavours, clear taste cues, and accessible price points.
All winning wines are available now in participating licensed SPAR stores across Great Britain.
