The London Wine Competition is designed to applaud and award the wines that drinkers and wine lovers would enjoy choosing from a wine list of a restaurant or simply pick at a retail wine store. To be able to achieve this, the criteria of the London Wine Competition is to look at the wines as a whole. The panel of judges score the wines based on their quality, expertise and the potential they are made with. It also includes two other essential factors – the Value the wine offers and its Packaging. Sid Patel, CEO of event organizer Beverage Trade Network says, “London Wine Competition is designed for trade buyers and sommeliers to evaluate wines the way wine drinkers do. They analyse the quality of the wines thoroughly; they are then asked to judge and award scores based on the value and packaging of the wine.”The panel of judges at the competition consists of Sommeliers, Wine Directors from some of London’s finest restaurants, big chain buyers and independent merchants that have extensive commercial buying responsibility. Each panel of London Wine Competition also includes a Master of Wine or a Master Sommelier. The wines at the London Wine Competition were judged on the basis of three primary criteria – Quality, Value and Packaging - and then scored on a 100-point scale. Wines that scored 90 and above were awarded Gold medals, those that scored 76 to 89 points were awarded Silver medals, whilst Bronze medals were awarded to wines that scored between 65 to 75 points.

“In today’s competitive market, good wine is not enough to win over the customer or see success in the market. Consumers expect it to look attractive and be a great value for money. That is why we are extremely proud that Marani Milorauli wine scored exceptionally well at the 2023 London Wine Competition,” said Alexander Milorava “Winning an award is particularly important to us because it not only shows that we are making the types of wines that wine drinkers actually want to buy and enjoy, but also the wines that the on-trade establishments want to include in their lists.
