On December 9, the results of the first China Wine News (CWN) International Spirits and Wine Competition with the theme of "Defining the Chinese value of global spirits and wines " officially released the results.

20 spirits and wine experts from different fields, each with different professional backgrounds, served as judges. After the 419 wine samples were divided into four groups of individual tasting, according to the award ratio of no more than 30%, the final selection of 101 winning wine samples won the five-star gold recommendation, four-star gold recommendation and three-star gold recommendation.

Compared with the traditional competition, the CWN International Spirits and Wine Competition has many "characteristics", or different "highlights".

"The first is that the way of evaluation is different from the past, the competition is no longer the style of the product, or even the flavor as the focus of evaluation, but more attention to the price and the physical and mental changes of people when and after drinking." Not only that, all the samples are directly from the production line to ensure that the packaging is intact, the trademark is complete, the number is attached, and the market is available to purchase, and the use of competition wine is strictly prohibited." Wu Xianguo, chairman of the organizing committee of Competition, President and editor-in-chief of China Wine News, further analyzed that building a fair, open and inclusive communication platform to allow more wines to be discovered, recognized and accepted is not only the mission of the competition, but also a respect for the wine itself. It is also the satisfaction and responsibility for the diversity of consumer tastes.

"The core of the event is to be responsible to consumers and products, not to the awards, and the Chinese wine industry has voiced its urgency on the global stage to establish Chinese standards." Wu Xianguo stressed that the establishment of the CWN International Spirits and Wine Competition is to introduce the world wine evaluation standards with Chinese characteristics, broaden the international influence of Chinese wines, highlight the unique value of various wine varieties in the Chinese market, enhance consumers' quality recognition of Chinese wine regions, and then establish the core position of Chinese quality wine products sharing with the world. Finally achieve the purpose of promoting the overall progress of the wine industry.

Obviously, as an industry advocate and recorder, to create and hold "influence the industry, create value" wine events, China Wine News is serious. Therefore, we also see that the CWN International Spirits and Wine Competition not only provides a platform for participants to show their own product characteristics, but also brings more options to consumers.

Separately, China Wine News plans to hold the Award Ceremony during the Spring of 2025, and launch the second event.

"We promise to continue to maintain the principles of professionalism, fairness, justice and public trust, constantly innovate and improve the competition rules, set a higher standard for the industry, and recommend more world wines to consumers that meet the tastes of Chinese people." Wu Xianguo said that at the same time, the competition will also strengthen cooperation and exchanges with domestic and foreign counterparts, so that the world can better understand China, so that the charm of Chinese wine spread around the world.
