The judges at the Glass of Bubbly Awards place each wine into a relevant consumer-friendly category. They are then scored for how well they fit that category, with the highest scoring winning the trophy.
For the Pastries Delight Category, the judges were looking for a wine that showed a yeasty, brioche, nutty character.
