The Great American International Wine Competition will provide you with a world-class assessment and added exposure to your wines. We provide results directly after the competition—so you can use the information to promote your medal winning wines. All winning entries will receive an elegant medal for display in your winery, as well as recognition on our competition website and social media around
the world. Finished press releases to send to your local media, social media assets and customizable promotional artwork for shelf tags and bottle tags will also be available to all winners. To make a great wine you bring all of your artistry, dedication, science and passion to the table. We bring the most respected judges from around the world to the other side of that table. Our judges include the most influential people in the wine industry, including Masters of Wine, Master Sommeliers, sommeliers, educators, enologists, winemakers, retailers, importers and wine industry writers and consultants. A TRULY CHARITABLE COMPETITION
RAISE A GLASS FOUNDATION is a registered NY 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created to help save and improve the lives of adults and children around the world. We accomplish our mission by collecting and donating to deserving charities a valuable asset – thousands of award- winning bottles of wine, beer and spirits – which they use in their fundraising galas, dinners, auctions and other events. It would be very difficult if not impossible for a charity to solicit such a collection of award-winning bottles from producers around the world. We remove that barrier by hosting truly international competitions – with entries and professional judges from over 25 countries. At the end of the competitions, all of the unopened bottles (thousands!) are categorized and donated to deserving charities for there fundraising events.
