Cathay Hong Kong International Wine & Spirit Competition
Moderate weight5 awards · 4 wines · award years 2012–2022
Why this weight
Founded 2008 by Debra Meiburg MW; blind tasting on a 100-point scale, judges include Masters of Wine and a Master Sommelier. Weight is moderate rather than major for two reasons: the competition does not publish its total number of entries, so the share of samples receiving a medal cannot be checked (758 medals and 54 trophies in 2024), and the title of the competition is sold to a sponsor.

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
