IWC 2026: Enter Now

The International Wine Challenge has been judging wines for over 40 years — and its mission has remained the same: to help wine producers across the globe sell more wine.

Each year, thousands of wines from across the world are tasted, debated and benchmarked by some of the most experienced palates in the industry. This level of credibility means the results are trusted by buyers, retailers and wine drinkers across the world. The IWC medal is recognised by buyers and relied upon by consumers.

Whether you're entering a single wine or a full range, the IWC delivers recognition that travels across markets, channels and continents.

An IWC medal offers:

- A trusted signal of quality for buyers and consumers worldwide
- A proven driver of sales uplift and pricing confidence
- A clear way to stand out in a crowded, highly competitive global wine market

At a time when margins are under pressure and choice is overwhelming, a medal that buyers recognise — and believe in — matters more than ever.

But don't just take our word for it.

"These trophies are a powerful recognition of the precision and dedication behind our wines. Being awarded by such a trusted global competition means the world to our team."

— Eric Heerema,
CEO & owner, Nyetimber
