Venue / Location

General Information

The judging will be conducted by panels of a minimum of four qualified trade buyers. Our trade-only judging panelists work with wine and their customers on a daily basis. They are a mix of restauranteurs, sommeliers, retail spirits buyers, distributors and importers. We try to assemble each judging panel with a mix of different disciplines so multiple viewpoints will be considered in the evaluation of the wines.

The judges’ travel and lodging during the competition are covered by the AIWC.

We are prepared to hold a virtual competition in the event that we cannot safely proceed with our usual in-person event. All wine submitted before the deadline will be tasted by the judges.

The Asia International Wine Competition medals will be awarded on a merit basis by a majority vote. The judges are instructed to grant no awards or medals when, in their opinion, the wines are not ones they would import, distribute, buy or sell in their businesses based on product and price category. Judges are asked to evaluate the wines in silence until all panel members have finished their evaluation and then open a discussion to reach a consensus. Judge votes are recorded by a AIWC staff moderator. If there is a significant difference among the judges’ votes, panelists are encouraged to reach a consensus and, if needed, seek counsel from the Head Judge Adam Levy.
