International Bulk Wine Competition 2018

The International Bulk Wine Competition, which is the only international contest that awards and promotes the quality of bulk wines from all across the globe, will be held one day prior to the World Bulk Wine Exhibition and, this year, has summoned wine samples from 11 different origins: Georgia, Spain, Argentina, Chile, Italy, Uruguay, France, South Africa, Australia, Romania and the US.

World’s best quality bulk wines

One of the main quality seals that endorse this international competition is the jury that participate in it, a score of prestigious professionals coming from 20 different countries, who will be in charge of tasting the wine references which are divided as follows: 50% red wines, 38% White wines, 6% rosés, 6% liqueur wines and 2% spirits. The International Bulk Wine Competition follows guidelines of the OIV and every year boosts the world’s best bulk wines, regardless of their origin, only based on quality criteria. A remarkable jury comes to Amsterdam from the five continents in order to participate in this competition, the only one worldwide that awards the quality of wine in bulk.
