The London Wine Competition looks to assess and reward wines based on how consumers judge them. What they look like, how much they cost and what they taste like. 

Now into its third year of competition the event has proven to be a new platform for producers all over the world to show their wines not just to the trade, but to use any medals and awards won to then promote their wines direct to their customers and consumers. Here’s how to enter the 2020 competition.

The London Wine Competition is now into its third year of competition

There are plenty of other more established events than the London Wine Competition, but none of which judges the wines in the same way a consumer does. By what they look like on the shelf, what they cost, and what they taste like. The winning combination of value, quality and great design. Lots of wines can claim one or two of those qualities, but not many all three. That is what the London Wine Competition is all about. Good news for consumers and good news for the trade.

For these are the wines that professional wine buyers and sommeliers need to have on their lists. They keep the cash flowing going, they keep the wine stocks flowing and ultimately they bring in the much-needed revenues and margins for the restaurant. It’s why the London Wine Competition only uses professional wine buyers to judge its wines. Those who are involved day in day out making the decisions about what wines they are going to list for their businesses.

Now into its third round of awards, the London Wine Competition is expected to attract more entries from around the world. The results of the second London Wine Competition were released earlier in the year and saw strong results from right across the world from the UK, to the US, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, New Zealand and Austria. But it was Australia that lead the way, taking away 11 Gold medals and scooping up 31% of the medals awarded.

Sid Patel, chief executive of the London Wine Competition said of this year’s awards: “I am delighted with the level of quality which has gone up another two notches from last year. The high standard of judges has helped us achieve even more notable awards than in 2018. It has been interesting to hear so many judges comment on how the packaging has an effect on their scores.”
