Why enter this competition?

To make a great wine you bring all of your artistry, dedication, science and passion to the table. We bring the most respected judges from around the world to the other side of that table.

WE HAVE THE BEST JUDGES. Our judges include the most influential people in the wine industry, including Masters of Wine, Master Sommeliers, sommeliers, educators, enologists, winemakers, retailers, importers and wine industry writers and consultants.

ALL WINES are blind judged; each glass is identified only by a number. Judges are given the classification prior to each flight. They do not know the producer or region.

EACH WINE is judged on its own merit — it’s presence, balance and character — not by how it compares to others in the flight.

The Great American International Wine Competition will provide you with a world-class assessment and added exposure to your wines. We provide results directly after the competition—so you can use the information to promote your medal winning wines. All winning entries will receive an elegant medal for display in your winery, as well as recognition on our competition website and social media around the world. Finished press releases to send to your local media, social media assets and customizable promotional artwork for shelf tags and bottle tags will also be available to all winners. 

OUR GOAL IS TO INCREASE AWARENESS IN YOUR WINERY AND HELP YOU SELL MORE GREAT WINE!

Awards

MEDALS are awarded for Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze winning wines.

Promotion of Winners

WINNERS will be announced on the our website, mentioned in press releases, and listed in next years promotional material.
