Chapel Down (CD) is one of the UK's leading wine industry leaders that seeks to challenge the hegemony of champagne. It argues that with the sales of English sparkling wine forecast to grow by 134% by 2026, the demand for its products is growing fast. CD's 'Sparkling Wine' sales increased by 52.8% in 2020 whilst champagne sales in the UK dropped by 21.7% over the same period. The company argues that 2020 was a record year for its business, despite COVID-19, with its revenue growing by 32% year on year and e-commerce sales growing by 467% year on year. CD has partnered with notable hospitality entities like Harrods, Royal Opera House and Sheraton Grand. It will use the investment to scale up and improve its winemaking capabilities, complete the planting process of its biggest vineyard on the finest terroir in England, scale up its e-commerce channels, invest in selected export markets worldwide, and give people a memorable experience at its winery.
