Over its 40 year history the IWSC has attracted some of the most influential individuals in the wine and spirit industry to act as its annual Presdent, these include Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, Miguel Torres, Gina Gallo, Robert Mondavi, Wolf Blass and Sir Anthony Greener.
Judging The competition uses the most rigorous judging process with all entries blind tasted by panels with specific experience of the region, variety or product. All products are tasted in groups divided by variety, region and vintage as necessary and the judges are served products in number glasses and never see the bottles which they are tasting. The judging is overseen by the competitions independent Judging and Technical Committee which is headed by David Wrigley MW. The competition exists all year round with its own staff and cellar in Surrey, England. This enables the competition to stagger its judging through the year ensuring current vintages can be entered and therefore commercial advantage made of awards received.
