The results this year really highlight the breadth of quality wines being produced across the world, with medal-winners from established regions as well as lesser-known wine producing countries such as Georgia, Turkey, Moldova and North Macedonia. An International Wine Challenge medal sticker helps consumers navigate this ever-changing vinous landscape and give them confidence to make great wine choices, even if, from a wine perspective, the country is totally new to them", said Oz Clarke, Co-Chair of the International Wine Challenge commented.

Thousands of wines from over 50 countries were judged by a panel of international wine experts in a rigorous two-week blind tasting.
