Amazingly, there are wines that have won Gold and Silver medals in this year’s International Wine Challenge that aren’t currently available in the UK on-trade.

Here is your chance to try them. There are Gold winners from Burgundy, the Loire, Australia and China – as well as dessert wines and Ports – that want to get into the UK market but don’t yet have a distributor. It’s a ‘golden’ opportunity to add something special to your wine list.
