Announcing the Winners of the 8th Annual New York International Wine Competition!

Thanks to everyone who submitted their products to our eighth incredible year in New York City!

The 8th Annual NYIWC Took Place on May 6th, 2018 in New York City

The New York International Wine Competition was thrilled with the quality of wine submissions that it received in its 8th year. We were proud to showcase our 1300+ wine submissions from over 23 countries.

Our trade-buyer-only judging panel judged the wines both by their category and actual price. We are already excited for next year’s 9th Annual New York International Wine Competition, slated for May of 2018 in the heart of New York City at the 3 West Club.
