Melbourne International Wine Competition (MIWC) taking place on June 11, 2017 in the heart of Melbourne. This contest stands out from the others because all of our judges are real trade buyers judging the wine by its category and actual price. We call it "The Real World". This is a great opportunity for established wines to reconnect with true trade buyers and new wines to be discovered by real trade buyers.
