Why this weight
How the class was assigned.
The class is a judgement about the competition, not about the wines. It rests on four public grounds, and what we relied on is printed here in plain text.
The largest international wine competition: blind tasting, published methodology
What decides a class
Blind tasting
Is the tasting blind, and are the rules published?
Share of medals
What share of entries leaves with a medal?
The jury
How is the jury composed, and how independent is it of the entrants?
Cost of entry
What does entry cost, and is marketing sold alongside the medal?
Where we cannot establish these, the class stays unassigned — a guessed grade is worse than an honest gap.
Weight class
A major international competition: blind tasting, published methodology, limited share of medals. Such a medal carries weight.

Medalists
Every award from this competition in our catalogue.
Grouped by the year the award was given, newest first. A medal belongs to a batch rather than to a wine in general, so the vintage of the awarded batch is printed on the row.

A row marked claimed is known from the producer or a shop rather than from the competition's own results. Medals are weighted by how trustworthy the competition is — they are never summed as equals, and a wine without awards is not worse than one with a pay-to-play medal. How we weigh awards.

A medal recorded wrongly, or a class you think is unfair? Producers and readers can send a correction, and a person reads every message.
