Sustainability awards
REWARDING PRODUCERS
The IWSC is more than a competition. It is a global wine and spirits community, focused on people and expertise.
The IWSC not only recognises excellence in the quality of liquid in the wines, spirits and other drinks entered into its awards, it also recognises the hard work producers put in to creating brands using methods which don't harm our natural world. Rewarding businesses with a holistic understanding of the impact they have on our environment and are actively making changes to their processes to ensure cleaner, greener production.
Old Vine Trophy
Awarding wine entrants whose old vine wines not only perform well in the IWSC judging, but also works to preserve and protect old vines and spread awareness of the importance of nurturing heritage vineyards. Entrants to our awards will be asked to highlight the age of the vines used to producer their wines during the submission process. After judging, a shortlist will be created of the best performing old vine entrants.
