The London Wine Competition looks to identify and reward the wine brands that successfully pass the test in all three criteria which includes quality, packaging and value for money. The London Wine Competition believes that every wine is first judged on its look and then its price and lastly by the quality, hence, these three factors are the key criteria on which the London Wine Competition operates.
