Educating Sommeliers Worldwide.
By Beverage Trade Network
Among myriad other wine competitions, THIS is what makes us stand apart and help us offer something unique to our participants.
The Paris Wine Cup will be assessed and judged by a leading panel of top-level wine buyers with current direct commercial buying responsibility. Or wine consultants and experts who are also directly involved in the development of new wine brands or buying wine for commercial resale.
Quality Score: will be marked out of 50
Value Score: will be marked out of 25
Package Score: will be marked out of 25
To win a Paris Wine Cup award you will need to score highly in all three areas of our judging criteria i.e., Quality, Value for money and Package & Design. You might have an outstanding quality wine, but if the price and packaging are not right, you will not be recognized by the Paris Wine Cup.
There is no point, for example, in having a 95 point wine if it does not look good or offer consumers great value for money. Those points mean it will remain highly respected within the trade, but it will also remain largely unsold on the shelf or languishing on a restaurant’s wine list.
Learn more about the Judging Procedure
Paris Wine Cup will be decided based on the following judging formula:
Q (Quality Score) + Value Score (V) + Package Score (P) = Paris Wine Cup Score.

Paris Wine Cup rewards wines that are made well, taste great, offer great value for money and stand out on the shelf. Winning PWC Gold clearly demonstrates the trade how well the wine will be perceived in the market and will give the trade a very good indicator to stock that wine. Paris Wine Cup 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.
The Paris Wine Cup is currently accepting entries for a variety of different categories.
