New York International Wine Competition Announces 2026 Winners

Thanks to everyone who submitted their products to our 16th incredible year in New York City!

The 16th Annual NYIWC Took Place on June 5th, 2026 in New York City

The New York International Wine Competition was thrilled with the quality of wine submissions that it received in its 16th 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 17th Annual New York International Wine Competition (date and location will be announced soon).
