ACWC

Established in 1981, the competition has followed the progress of our country’s wine industry from its infancy to where it stands today—vibrant and full of promise. This year’s judging will mark three decades of critiquing Canadian wines, by an esteemed panel of approximately 36 wine writers, sommeliers and accredited wine judges, from coast to coast and beyond.

Wines are submitted, sorted by category, price and sugar, wrapped, and then assigned to the panel for assessment. Our entries are scored using the 100 point scale, examined for sensory components, varietal character, and structural soundness.
