2019 International Wine and Spirit Competition – Simone 2016
The original aim of the IWSC was to award excellence in wines and spirits worldwide, and this aim remains the same today, encouraging recognition for quality products. Entries are received from nearly 90 countries worldwide and each sample is judged according to its class and treated with the same care and consideration in the IWSC’s dedicated tasting premises.
The IWSC is proud to set the international benchmark for quality remaining unique in the crowded world of drinks competitions with dedicated tasting premises, a permanent onsite cellar and over 400 global experts judging products for seven months of the year.

“This is a dense and warm, fruity, modern style. Very spicy throughout, with fine but pronounced oak. Dark and intense, with plenty of primary fruit, creamy big texture and robust tannins creating a big, long-lasting impression.”
About 2019 International Wine & Spirit Competition
Now in its 50th year, the International Wine & Spirit Competition remains as relevant today as it did when wine chemist Anton Massel founded Club Oenologique in 1969. Massel had the idea of creating a wine and spirit competition which was based not just on organoleptic judgement but where all entries also had to undergo chemical analysis..
