Brexit and political tussling over the UK's place in the world is taking place alongside the growing global conversation around quality UK wines and spirits.

Winners by a nose, the 'Grand National' medallists that are all... thirst past the post!

Olly Smith in the Mail on Sunday reckons the IWSC is one of the most exciting wine competititions around: “Wine awards are looking for more tangible ways to engage with wine consumers. Adam Lechmere, the general manager at the International Wine and Spirit Competition tells me: ‘As we move towards our 50th anniversary in 2019, we are positioning ourselves as the premium wine competition with a range of exciting new projects in the pipeline – not least a new consumer club, the Club Oenologique, which will give wine and spirits lovers access to some of the thousands of wonderful drinks we taste every year.’ So while a gong goes some way to celebrate a wine’s pedigree, potentially more exciting is the contest to access these wines. The race is on to win the backing of wine fans.”

China isn't just a consumer of prestige red wine - it's set to produce on a vast scale, too

If you’re still laughing at stories of Chinese wine drinkers ordering Lafite, and then diluting it with Coca-Cola, you’re out of date. Chinese taste has become more sophisticated, and more educated, and it’s happened very quickly. I recently tried some of them at an event put on by the International Wine and Spirit Competition.

Time to chase China

Winemaking may have been the legacy of Benedictine monks in Medieval Europe who were also the nominated guardians of vines and cellars. But the original progenitors of wine - they are nowhere close in proximity. I attended IWSC’s first Chinese tasting in March 2018 where they revealed the medal winners of 2017.
