The International Wine Contest

 Tasting Procedure

For the organisation of its International Wine Contest, Monde Selection strictly applies the international European regulations.

The competition happens every year, during the first trimester, and lasts for three days.

First, all the files, including the laboratory analysis, of the participating wines are controlled by:

• the Directorate General for Federal Public Service Economy – Enforcement and Mediation.

All the different juries, made up of international experts, are separated in groups of minimum 7 persons.

Then, each judge tastes the products blindly and fills in an individual tasting sheet according to the model of the OIV and the UIOE, International Union of Oenologists.

This sensory tasting sheet includes the following parameters: Visual, nose, taste and general harmony of the product.

Then, before calculation, the tasting sheets are controlled by the Federal Public Service Economy.

Finally, scores, given by the different jury members, are added up and averaged to a final result and rewarded a bronze, silver, gold or grand gold medal.

In accordance with the official Rules and Regulations on Wine Contests in Europe:

• “the sum of all medals awarded to the samples that obtained the best results may not exceed 30% of the total sum of all the samples entered to the Contest.”
