Producer trophies
CELEBRATING PRODUCERS
The IWSC is more than a competition. It is a global wine and spirits community, focused on people and expertise.
Each year, our annual judging awards producers with medals for the wines, spirits and other drinks entered into the IWSC. The best performing producers within each category are then in contention for our most prestigious awards, our Producer Trophies…
All entrants to the IWSC awards have an opportunity to qualify for our most prestigious accolades, our Producer Trophies. The process is as follow:
- Following completion of award judging, the IWSC review all results within each Trophy category and shortlist best-performing Producers
- These shortlisted producers will be sent a questionnaire to complete
- Members of our Judging Committee will review the questionnaires to decide the overall winner for each Producer Trophy category
- Producer Trophy winners will then be announced at the IWSC’s Awards Celebration
