Brands looking to enter into the 7th annual London Wine Competition are encouraged to submit now and get product feedback from the leading trade buyers of the world.
The London Wine Competition reviews brands in the same way that consumers do: by what they taste like; what the bottle or design looks like; and how much it costs. Any drinks competition relies on two things: the quality of the products that are entered; and the respect of the expertise of the judges tasked with picking out the winners. The London Wine Competition has focused on both as each year it builds its reputation around the world amongst the leading winemakers, brand owners and drinks distributors.
The London Wine Competition has been created exclusively by the Beverage Trade Network, global drinks event and publishing group dedicated to helping drinks producers and

brand owners get closer to the buyers, distributors, and retailers that can bring their products to market.
“This is the third time I have judged the competition and the entries that I saw were generally of a higher standard than previously,” confirmed Jeraboam’s wine director Peter Mitchell MW.
The judging for the competition is broken down into three key areas: Quality; Value; and Packaging and design. A score is given by judges for each criteria which together creates the London Wine Competition score on which the medal awarded is given.
The London Wine Competition prides itself on having award winning buyers, sommeliers and some of the most influential people working in the UK wine industry. Individuals that are tasked every day in deciding which products and brands are going to go on back bars and on to drinks lists on some of the most influential venues and bars in the world.
