Taking part in a global wine competition is a chance to benchmark your wines against the best wines being made around the world. But it is also a chance to see how you are doing in your own back yard, which is why winning the best wine from your country is one of the most sought after accolades in the London Wine Competition. Here’s the top rated wines from Australia to Georgia.
The London Wine Competition sets wines apart by how they taste, their quality, their packaging, design and their value for money. Click here to see the full list of winners from the 2021 awards.
As most retailers and restaurants still list and segment their ranges of wines by country being voted the best wine against your peers in your home nation is quite an achievement. Here we profile the wines and producers that came out top in our global tour of the world from this year’s London Wine Competition.
