The Vinalies® Internationales can be summed up in 6 words (quoted from Vinalies website):

Passion since this is the principal driving force of the Vinalies® Internationales, where the jury members will gather in Paris for 5 days of wine tasting. The jurors mark and comment on all the samples presented. Each producer receives a general summary of the appraisals.

Diversity characterised by our jury of 150 tasters composed of specialists in sensorial analysis from around the world. Nearly 40 nationalities are represented on the tasting panel, a diversity which also contributes to the unique character of the event.

Trust established over 20 years, with producers from France and around the world sending us samples of their wines every year. In total almost 3.500 wine samples are sent to us, in the hope of receiving a Vinalies® d’Or (Gold) or a Vinalies® d’Argent (Silver) medal.

Impartiality guaranteed by our exclusively blind tastings, which is one of the principal characteristics of the Vinalies® Internationales. There is no question here of judging a brand or an appellation; the only thing that counts is the quality of the wine.

Professionalism which has been recognised once again, and for six consecutive years, by the awarding of ISO 9001 v.2008 certification for our respect of the OIV international wines and spirits competition standard, acknowledging the rigour, regularity and exactitude of every single stage of the competition and its organisation.

Organisation orchestrated for over 20 years. It is a team task, where every single member contributes to meeting all the demands, and in which every detail is important.

Every year, the Union of French Oenologists organises one of the most prestigious competitions in the wine world. Over 5 days, the jury members, all experts in sensorial analysis, gather together each morning under the presidency of a French wine specialist, to blind taste wines from all four corners of the world.

Last year, over 3,500 bottles were tasted.

Boosted by the competition’s high renown, the medal-winning bottles are sold throughout the world and are highly appreciated both by distributors and consumers.

The International Wine Challenge (IWC) owned by William Reed Business Media is now in its 34th year. The IWC is accepted as the world’s finest and most meticulously judged wine competition which assesses every wine blind and judges each for its faithfulness to style, region and vintage. Throughout the rigorous judging processes, each medal-winning wine is tasted on three separate occasions by at least 10 different judges and awards include medals (Trophy, Gold, Silver, Bronze) and Commended and Great Value awards. Regular judges ensure the quality of the contest like Sarah Abbott MW, Tim Atkin MW, Dr. Jamie Goode, Charles Metcalfe among others. Over 15 000 wines are entered annually from over 55 countries.

International Wine Challenge takes place in London and has a unique procedure of judging, which can be seen in this short video:
