Georgia, Spain, Italy and France have been the countries that have obtained the best scores for their wines. The International Bulk Wine Competition provides a trigger for Amsterdam’s remarkable bulk wine fair which launches its tenth edition today.
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, was held yesterday, summoned wines from 11 different origins: Georgia, Spain, Argentina, Chile, Italy, Uruguay, France, South Africa, Australia, Romania and the US. The International Bulk Wine Competition takes place one day prior to the World Bulk Wine Exhibition, the most important fair worldwide in terms of turnover, and which gathers 85% of the global supply of bulk wine.

A business forum for international purchasers and suppliers of the wine industry who reunite every year in Amsterdam.
The IBWC: the jury
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. This year, 26 professionals from 20 nationalities were in charge of tasting almost 200 wine samples from 11 different origins that have participated in the contest. All jury members have pointed out the overall wine quality, as well as the relevance of a contest with these characteristics; a competition that contributes to a deeper understanding of the multiple possibilities of this wine category in the market.

*During this competition most of the guests were hosted in the Novotel or Motel One opposite of the RAI. But behind the RAI complex I discovered the CitizenM hotel where I have been in London and New York and I liked that very much! Great beds, very friendly staff, good breakfast (and fresh coffee!), quick check-in and -out and only a walk of 10-15 minutes through the Beatrix park to the RAI!
