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.

Run by the ExpoGeorgia exhibition centre in Tbilisi alongside the WinExpo Georgia fair; the 2026 edition was the 16th. Blind tasting, stated by the organiser and confirmed by an independent report on the 2023 edition; the named international jury is headed by Tim Atkin MW and includes two more Masters of Wine and the co-chair of the Decanter World Wine Awards (11 judges from 7 countries in 2023). Weight is moderate rather than major because a medal as such filters little: in 2023 more than 250 samples from 80 companies produced 159 awards — about 64% of entries were decorated. Gold is far stricter: 9 golds in 2023, about 3.6%. The competition publishes no rulebook, no scoring scale and no entry numbers by year, and samples are submitted for a fee, so the judging pool is self-selected.

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

Moderate weight

A visible competition with a partly published methodology. The medal counts, but is not equal to a major one.

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.

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.
