Why Submit

We’re the only International Wine Competition where all the judges are real trade buyers who are judging the wine by category and actual price. These judges are buyers from the top New York area Importers, Distributors, Retail Stores, Hotels, Sommeliers and more.

This is an opportunity for you to place your product in front of real working industry trade buyers in one of the biggest wine markets in the world. All of our judges buy wine for a living.

This is a wonderful opportunity for an established winery to reconnect and/or be rediscovered by the buying community in a true blind tasting by real trade buyers.

Our competition is a perfect opportunity for products trying to break into the American Market to be tasted by multiple trade buyers who buy wine for a living. These buyers are looking to find new wines as well as make sure their existing producers are still good in a real blind taste test.

We work with our media sponsors to distribute the results to the trade and consumer. All the winners will be listed here on our website.

We do not charge winning brands for the medalimage in their marketing materials.

You are only charged once for submitting your submissions.

Top winners are showcased at our booth at Prowein in Dusseldorf!

Winners are featured in articles on our lifestyle blog, the Alcohol Professor.
