--- ENDS --What is the International Wine Challenge?
In its 30th year, the International Wine Challenge is accepted as the world’s finest and most
meticulously judged competition. The IWC assesses every wine ‘blind’ and judges each for its
faithfulness to style, region and vintage. Each medal winning wine is tasted on at least three
separate occasions by a minimum of 10 different judges including master wine tasters. Awards
include medals (Gold, Silver, Bronze) and Commended awards. The IWC is committed to helping
consumers discover great wine and the medals displayed on winning bottles offer a trusted
guarantee of quality.
