March 15, 2020 – Paris, France.

Beverage Trade Network, the organizer of Paris Wine Cup said safety of our judges and our staff was top priority and it was best we delayed the competition to June this year. The winners of the 2020 competition will now be announced on July 10, 2020.

“Whilst following government advice and what’s happening in France and especially the pace of new state protocols coming up, we spent the last couple of weeks speaking with partners to assess the impact the outbreak would have on our event and what measures we could put in place in order to mitigate risks and deliver a safe, successful event for all,” Sid Patel, CEO of Beverage Trade Network said.

We truly understand that our entrants who submitted their wines were excited to see the results on April 30, however due to the coronavirus situation and keeping in mind the safety of our judges, we decided it was best to postpone the event and do it on 29 June 2020.

About Paris Wine Cup

The Paris Wine Cup aims to recognize, reward and promote French wine brands that have successfully been created to identify with and target a specific wine drinker. For any wine brand to earn its place on a retailer’s shelf or a restaurant’s wine list -  and then vitally stay there - they need to be marketable and consumer-driven and not just produced in the general hope it can find enough people willing to sell and buy it.
