With more beers, wines and spirits entered every year the standard of the London Competitions rises every 12 months too. Anyone entering the 2022 competition by December 10 can get a discounted entry fee. To find out how to enter and what discounts are available click on the three competitions here: London Wine Competition; London Spirits Competition; London Beer Competition.
The London Competitions pride themselves on selecting and rewarding beers, wines and spirits that consumers really want to buy and have a clear market value for trade buyers. It’s why it only uses professional drinks buyers as its judges who are then asked to assess each of the products in the competition in three clear ways:
1. Their quality.
2. Their value for money.
3. What they look like.
It’s why any beer, wine or spirit that picks up a gold, silver or bronze medal has had to prove they are not just a top quality product in terms of how they have been made, but that they also offer the trade and the consumer great value for money, and will also stand out on the shelf and on the back bar.
To give you an insight into the standard of products that are awarded gold medals in the three competitions here are the Top 15 Gold Medals from the 2021 London Wine Competition that each scored 94 points or more.
