IWSC Wine & Spirit Tasting Sunday 18 - Tuesday 20 March Hall 9 Stand F01 D-40474 Düsseldorf, Stockumer Kirchstraße 61 Rewarding excellence since 1969 @theiwsc theiwsc @theiwsc theiwsc www.iwsc.net
Introduction Now in its 49th year, the International Wine & Spirit Competition remains as relevant today as it did when wine chemist Anton Massel founded Club Oenologique in 1969. Massel had the idea of creating a wine and spirit competition which was based not just on organoleptic judgement but where all entries also had to undergo chemical analysis. In 1978, the name was changed to the International Wine & Spirit Competition, and the disciplines were refined into what we know the competition to be today. Technical controls were tightened to ensure the highest quality standards were achieved and maintained to a consistent standard year after year. The original aim of the IWSC was to award excellence to wines and spirits worldwide, and this aim remains the same today, encouraging recognition for quality products. Entries are received from nearly 90 countries worldwide and each sample is judged according to its class and treated with the same care and consideration in the IWSC s dedicated tasting premises. The IWSC is proud to set the international benchmark for quality remaining unique in the crowded world of drinks competitions with dedicated tasting premises, a permanent onsite cellar and over 400 global experts judging products for seven months of the year. 2 IWSC ProWein Wine Tasting 2018
