If your wine or sake earned a medal in the 2025 International Wine Challenge, now is the time to turn that recognition into measurable commercial success. IWC bottle-stickers and artwork licences (to display the medal logo directly on your labels, cases or marketing materials) are officially available – and they do far more than just look impressive.
They drive SALES
A groundbreaking IWC study in partnership with major UK supermarkets Co-op and M&S proved that medal stickers don’t just influence – they convert.
These aren’t hypothetical gains – these are real-world results from retail shelves. When shoppers are faced with choice, IWC stickers act as a powerful shortcut to trust.
They instantly signal quality, credibility and value. At the point of sale, that’s the edge your wine needs.
Don’t Leave Your Medal on the Shelf – Put It to Work.
Order IWC stickers for your medal-winning bottles
License the logo for custom use across print and digital marketing
Drive customer confidence and maximise every sale opportunity
Sarah Benson, the Co-op’s wine buyer (Commercial BWS, Impulse and Kiosk), said: “We have seen very positive results which would suggest that customers recognise the IWC medal stickers and they make a significant influence on their purchases.”
The stickers are a crucial step in helping guide consumers at the point of sale – as Helen McGinn, author of The Knackered Mother’s Wine Club and IWC Panel Chair, comments: “It’s really hard to choose a wine when you go into a shop and you’re looking at a whole wall of bottles and a lot of them look fairly similar, you’ve only got a label to go on. An IWC medal is a really easy way just to signpost and help them make a decision when it comes to buying.”
Thousands of wines are judged. Only the best receive medals. Make yours stand out.
