AWARDS 2010 INCORPORATING FINE WINE AWARDS

WINE INNOVATION 2010

The Wine Innovation Awards launched last year by the drinks business recognise and reward the creative in wine. The awards highlight the work of brand owners and winemakers who are innovating and making top- quality wines – whether in the vineyard or the winery – and give those winemakers a chance to shout about how they are changing the face of modern winemaking.

The awards are open to new and existing producers who have started fresh winemaking projects – a first vintage, a new launch or an experiment.

The response to the Wine Innovation Awards this year has again been excellent with entries coming in from all corners of the winemaking world. FINE WINE AWARDS 2010

To coincide with the launch of our Fine Wine Fair in London this year, we announced the first awards programme for wines which sell on quality not price. The category is open to wines with a retail price of approximately £8 and above. This new departure has been greeted with enthusiasm and we believe that next year will see a greater success for these awards. THE JUDGES

In 2010 we were lucky enough to count upon the experience, expertise and integrity of a number of judges drawn from across the drinks sector – both internationally and in the UK.

The awards’ product categories were decided by country and then by varietal. All wines entered into the Wine Innovation Awards competition were then blind tasted by panels of industry experts and re-tasted as appropriate.

The judges were particularly impressed by the wide variety of different and innovative wines. The breadth of styles and range of varietals were certainly a challenge to the judges’ palates.
