WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Entering your wine, spirits or alternative drinks into the IWSC couldn’t be easier

Below you will find all the information you need to submit your samples for tasting by our expert team of judges. If anything is unclear, contact us on info@iwsc.net and a member of our team will be only too happy to help. Don't forget to take a quick look at our terms and conditions.

What does the entry process involve?

1. Fill out the entry and payment forms online (or send them to us via email or post). These will only take around five minutes to complete.
2. Pack up your samples (we need four bottles for wine, sake, vermouth, cider and low/no entries, or two bottles of spirits.)
3. Print the label that is available on your IWSC account page, and attach one to each package of bottles.
4. Send your bottles to us (visit our shipping page to view your options).
5. That's it! Once we receive your samples, they will be reviewed by expert judging panels and we will share their evaluation with you shortly afterwards.
