Weight class

Why there is no class yet.

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.

Wine competition founded in Shanghai in 2006 by trade-promotion bodies of the Pudong district and the Waigaoqiao free-trade zone; the organiser describes a blind tasting by a jury of about fifteen that includes Masters of Wine. The share of medals, the entry numbers by year and the entry fee are not published, so no weight is assigned.

This is not yet enough to assign a class.

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.

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.

1 award

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.
