A total of 31 Silver medals and 16 Bronze medals were awarded.
Competiton Director, Anthony Swift said “Canned wine production and sales have been developing apace in the New World for several years and judging by the brands displayed at online retailers and the increasing amount of shelf space in supermarket fridges, the canned wine movement is clearly becoming more and more popular in the Old World. That said however, many of the producers competing in the competition based in Europe reported that most of their production is currently exported to the USA”.
