International Wine & Spirit Competition

Major competition

578 awards · 424 wines · award years 2008–2026

Why this weight

Founded 1969. Double-blind tasting — glasses are poured before judges arrive; panels of 3–4 judges assess no more than 65 wines a day; over 250 judges including Masters of Wine. Gold goes to about 3% of entries (silver 28%, bronze 54%), so a gold medal is far more selective than a medal as such.

Medalists

2026

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
