Why Enter The 2023 London Wine, Beer and Spirits Competitions
The On-Trade
We're a new magazine-style platform aimed solely at the UK’s on-trade. Let's Grow the UK On-Trade together!
As the entry process for the 2023 London Spirits, Wine and Beer Competition closes on February 22 here are the key reasons why it makes good business sense to enter your beers, wines, and spirits into the three separate London Competitions .
The London?Wine,?Beer,?and?Spirits?Competitions were set up for six years with one objective, to introduce drinks awards that recognise, highlight, and reward wines, beers, and spirits based on the three key criteria a consumer decides which product they are going to buy.
Every drinks brand and product entered into the London Wine, London Beer and London Spirits Competitions is judged in these three ways:
Blind Tasting
Each product entered is first blind-tasted by our professional team of judges made of leading wine buyers, importers, merchants, sommeliers, Masters of Wine, Head Bartenders, Bar Managers, Mixologists, and Beer Sommeliers. Only those wines, beers, and spirits that pass the blind tasting are then put forward to the next two rounds of judging.
Pricing and value for money?
The judges are then told the recommended retail price and cost price of the wine, beer, or spirit in question and asked to assess how that equates to the quality they have just tasted. Does it offer value for money at that price point? Will a retailer, wine merchant, bar, or restaurant be able to sell it at that price to their customers?
Design
The judges are then asked to look at the actual bottles and packaging of all the products entered, to pick them up, to analyse their front and back labels and their overall brand design. Do they live up to the taste and quality credentials? Does it match the price being asked for it? Would the judges be proud to have that on their retail shelf or back bar?
Scoring
Scores are awarded per product in each of these three key criteria in order to determine which medal they will receive.
To win a medal in each of the competitions a product needs to get the following scores:
Gold: 90 points or over.
Silver:?a score between 76-89.
Bronze:?a score between 65-75.?
Promotion?
All products that receive medals in either the London, Wine, Beer or Spirits Competitions will then be promoted through the various Business and Trade Websites, Social Media, and YouTube channels that the show's organiser,?Beverage Trade Network, runs around the world.
