2021 China Wine Competition Winners Announced

16/12/2021 Wine of the Year 2017 Novak/Cabernet-Sauvignon by Novak Winery steals the show at the 2021 China Wine Competition with 6 Medals

The 3rd edition of the China Wine Competition is pleased to announce the 2021 winners. Wines from 17 different countries were submitted with Italy, Portugal, Australia being the top 3 entrants followed by Spain. The top 3 varieties submitted were Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo, and pinot noir. There was a solid increase in Prosecco, Shiraz, and Chardonnay.

The China Wine Competition looks to recognize, reward, and help promote wine brands that have successfully been created to identify with and target a specific wine drinker. For any wine brand to earn its place on a retailer’s shelf or a restaurant’s wine list -  and then vitally, stay there - they need to be marketable and consumer-driven and not just produced in the general hope it can find enough people willing to sell and buy it.

That is why the China Wine Competition is different. It will single out and shine the spotlight on those wine brands that consumers really want to buy and have a clear market value for trade buyers.

Here are the special winners at the 2021 China Wine Competition:
