Judged by top wine experts from around the globe and trusted internationally for its rigorous judging process, winning a medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards is a noteworthy accomplishment. Winners are encouraged to showcase their results with our universally recognised medal stickers.

Each panel tasting is judged by three expert tasters chosen for their authority in the category of wine being rated. Our experts taste and score wines individually but then discuss their scores together at the end of each flight to award you the most accurate rating for your wine.

Scored by experienced tasters, our experts evaluate and score wines individually to award your wine the most accurate overall rating. Any wine which has received a score and tasting note from Decanter is eligible to use 'Decanter Recommends' stickers on their bottles for the appropriate score.
