- Email us your pics of favourite wine or producer
- Complete the Bibendum taste survey

The tasting might be over now but there is still lots going on here at Bibendum Times – look out for photos and stories from the big day amongst our usual articles of food, travel and all things vinous. The Test Your Tastebuds questionnaire is now up and running and you have a chance to win a bottle of Laurent Perrier Champagne by joining our caption competition. Stay tuned!
