"Sommelier India is about to host its very first wine competition, which suggests that the Indian wine trade has come of age. The results will undoubtedly be enormously useful to the Indian wine consumer and also help the Indian wine producers to place their wines in an international context. I wish it well."
Rosemary George, MW

















Why participate? There are few better ways to impress upon consumers the quality of your wine than through an endorsement from the Sommelier India Wine Competition.

1. Sommelier India – The Wine Magazine is a highly respected publication. India’s first and only magazine dedicated to wine, it is read by wine lovers in India and Indians around the world. Sommelier India will spread the news about the winners and the competition far and wide.

2. The Wine Society of India with its key objectives of providing wine information and education through specialized programmes, will also broadcast the results which will be available online and in print for a period of one year.

3. Industry benchmarked. Your wines will be anonymously benchmarked against peers in a blind tasting. This information can help you improve the quality of your wines, gain recognition in international markets and serve as a guide for pricing and distribution strategies.

4. Exclusive consumer tastings. The Gala Awards Night dinner will be followed by special events throughout the year. Sommelier India in association with The Wine Society of India and other wine clubs in the country will provide consumers a chance to taste award-winning wines through exclusive events.

5. On going sales. The Wine Society of India will promote sales of some of the winning wines through its quarterly shipment programme.

6. Use of the SIWC logo. If your wine is awarded a medal in the Sommelier India Wine Competition, let it be known. Order bottle stickers and certificates as well as bulk copies of Sommelier India featuring the SI wine competition to distribute among your customers.

7. SIWC provides value for money. As the entry for the SIWC is half the price of most other wine competitions, entering provides great value for money. You can enter twice the amount of wines for the same price and double your chances of winning as a result.
