BOTTLE VARIATION QUALITY CONTROL
Since 2015, the CSWWC has involved a Tasting Quality Control Director, Orsi Szentkiralyi, who shadows the judges, working one tasting behind, comparing two bottles of every wine that fails to make at least Silver medal grade (or Gold in the case of Deluxe Champagnes) to identify bottle variations.
Any entries that are identified in this way are re-tasted, still blind, by the judges and a change in score will overide the original. We don’t think that any competition can be fairer to the intended quality of wine than that.
