Sussex sparkling wine producer Bolney English Wine is returning as the Official Sparkling Wine Partner of North Sails Cowes Week for a second consecutive year, with the 2026 edition carrying particular significance as the regatta's Bicentenary, running 1–7 August.
Bolney brings more than 50 years of heritage crafting premium sparkling and still wines from the Sussex countryside. Its Classic Cuvée will be poured at the North Sails Cowes Week Cocktail Party at the Royal Yacht Squadron, as well as across key new hospitality venues throughout the event.
The partnership joins two proudly British brands at what is shaping up to be a notable moment in British sporting history. Bob Trimble, Chair of Cowes Week Limited, said: "We're pleased to welcome back Bolney Wine Estate back and celebrate the best of British for the North Sails Cowes Week Bicentenary. Bolney's sparkling wines are a fantastic addition to the regatta's social programme and we look forward to celebrating with Bolney's excellent sparkling wines."
Bolney is recognised as one of England's pioneering wine producers, with a reputation built on premium winemaking and support for leading British sporting and cultural events. Samantha Cross, Marketing Controller at Bolney Wine Estate, sees the renewed association as a natural fit: "We're delighted to return to Cowes Week as the Official Sparkling Wine. Partnering with such an iconic celebration of British sporting culture provides the ideal platform to elevate Bolney's premium credentials and strengthen our position as a leading name in English sparkling wine."
