WHY PRODUCERS AND BRAND AMBASSADORS ENTER
The New York World Wine and Spirits Competition.?
Every brand feels their beverage is the best it can be on the market today! But how do they prove it?
How does an educated consumer have the confidence to pick the best? Our goal is to establish a clear
cut method by which wine and spirit brands can be ranked by the experts in the industry. It is the only wine
and spirits competition in the world that is associated with a recognized tradeshow event called The New York World Wine and Spirits Competition..
This new standard of competence is our primary goal to demonstrate to the buying public how the
experts interpret each brands overall quality.
The integrity of The New York World Wine and Spirits Competition. starts with the quality and
probity of our Judges and where it takes place. No other competition operates “out in the open” during
a trade event for the industry. This is our interpretation of integrity. Pure transparency as the entire
competition will be at The New York World Wine and Spirits Competition. for everyone to observe.
Another positive result from entering the competition is that wines and spirits not sold nationally in the
United States or is from a foreign country will attract a good deal of attention for greater distribution.
It allows for the wines and spirits to utilize its award to gain greater recognition over its competitors.
Think about this simple fact: Which spirit would you buy? Would it be the brand that is an award
winner or one with no award recognition?
