Award-Winning Winemakers Choose Winexpert Brands

Posted May 30th, 2010 | 0 Comments

At the 2010 WineMaker International Amateur competition, held April 16-18, wines made with Winexpert brands were awarded a total of 244 medals.

Each year, winemakers throughout North America put their trust in Winexpert and enter wines made with our products, and each year those wines consistently receive amazing results in this competition across all of Winexpert brands; Limited Edition, Estate, International, Original, World Vineyard, Vintners Reserve, Spéciale and Island Mist– a testament to their winemaking ability and also to the award-winning quality that Winexpert wine kits produce.

The highlights:

A Winexpert Selection International Australian Shiraz took home this year’s Best of Show Red.
Every Winexpert brand this year had more varieties win an award. In fact 97 different Winexpert products won an award this year, that’s 13 more than last year’s record of 84!
Wines made with Selection Spéciale won an incredible 45 medals. Our Port, Cab Franc Icewine style, and Riesling Icewine style were once again gold medal winners for the third year in a row, as well both of the past Seasonal Release varieties, Chocolate Raspberry Port and Okanagan Peach Icewine were once again gold medal winners.

The results above reflect that of just one competition. Each year, wines made with Winexpert products win hundreds of medals at major amateur winemaking competitions held throughout North America. But it’s not the medals that we’re proud of. What we value most is that you, our customer, trust that you will produce a wine of award-winning quality when you choose Winexpert brands.

Taste the success! And let your Winexpert Authorized Retailer help you choose your next award winning wine kit.
