The anniversary edition of The Balkans International Wine Competition is the first at which the special prize “Wine Personality of the Balkans” will be awarded – for a proven contribution over the years in promoting wines from the Balkans, local varieties and culture. The winner will receive a plaque at a special Gala Dinner, which will announce the “Best of Show” awards for each country after the competition part of the large-scale wine forum, which will take place from 2nd to 4th June in Skopje.

Due to the record number of samples that will be evaluated in the competition, the jury for the first time consists of 18 people – wine experts from 10 countries.

There are a few more days in which wineries from the entire Balkan region can register for participation in the competition. All winners and the Grand Trophy awarded winery will be announced during the festival part of The Balkans International Wine Competition & Festival (BIWCF). Traditionally, it is held outdoors in a specially built “Wine Town” in the area in front of the National Palace of Culture. Residents and guests of the city will have the opportunity to enjoy the best of Balkan wine, music and food between June 17th and 19th.

“There are only a few days left until the beginning of the 10th anniversary edition of The Balkans International Wine Competition & Festival. The whole team is excited because for these ten years we have managed to achieve a lot. Balkan wine is on the forefront and names like Jansis Robinson MW define it as the next hit in the world of wine. And so it is. For the last 10 years we have seen the increase in the quality of wines from the Balkan countries. Our emotion is great, we are looking forward to finding out who the winner of the Grand Trophy and the Trophies in the different categories will be. The program for the anniversary edition is just beginning. All colleagues and Balkan wine lovers can expect a very rich program, which we will announce after the Competition”, shares Galina Niforou, Director of BIWCF.
