The American Wine Society is the largest consumer based wine organization in the United States. We have conducted this prestigious Amateur and Commercial wine competition annually for over 40 years. This Commercial Competition will provide national recognition for your winery among both consumers and wine industry professionals.   Judges for the AWS Commercial Wine Competition include both AWS trained and certified judges and professional experts from all aspects of the wine industry.  AWS judges have completed a rigorous 3 level course over a minimum 3 years. This intense curriculum includes a disciplined approach to wine fault identification, component analysis, winery operations, viticulture, wine history and appreciation and of course, extensive wine evaluation and rating.
