Deadlines for 2026

The UK judging, held in London, is the IWSC's flagship event, covering wine, spirits, other alcoholic drinks and no, low & mid-strength categories.

The 'other alcoholic' and 'no, low and mid-strength' categories include, but are not limited to, no and low alcohol wines and spirits, ferments, functional and adult soft drinks along side cider, beer, RTDs, wine-based drinks, and vermouth. Please refer to the the No, Low and Mid-Strength Entry pack for a detailed breakdown.

Is there a Global Judging event for your category or region? Check the dates below to find out. Further Global judging events will be added as they are announced.

As part of our Global Judging, each year, the IWSC takes its experts to regions around the world, collaborating with local experts to judge wines/spirits from those countries 'in situ'.

Each year, new locations will be selected and these regions will vary from year to year.
