Why Enter the London Wine Competition?

The London Wine Competition stands out in the industry for its unique judging process. Rather than simply evaluating wines based on technical aspects, the competition judges wines across three essential criteria:

• Quality: The overall taste and craftsmanship of your wine.
• Value for Money: How your wine compares in value, making it attractive to trade buyers and consumers alike.
• Aesthetics: The design and packaging that makes your wine stand out on the shelf or wine list.

To win an award, your wine must demonstrate high quality, exceptional value for money, and an eye-catching design—traits that will make it a top contender for placement in retailers’ stores and restaurant wine lists.

In addition to Gold, Silver and Bronze medals, the competition also honors special categories, including:

• Own-Label Retailer of the Year
• Own-Label Restaurant of the Year
• Importer of the Year
• Importer of the Year by Country
• Wine of the Year
• Winery of the Year
• Best in Show by Country
• Best in Show by Varietal
• Best Wine of The Year by Quality
• Best Wine of The Year by Value
• Best Wine of The Year by Package
