The World Organic Wine Contest
> Who Are We ?
The World Contest for Organic Wines and Beers, organised by Sudvinbio a leading interprofessional association of organic wine producers and marketers in the Occitanie region in France is the premier global competition dedicated to organic wines and beers.
As the official competition of the Millésime BIO trade fair, it stands as the largest global competition dedicated to organic wines and beers.
Sudvinbio aims to elevate the profile of organic wines internationally while promoting sustainable farming practices. This prestigious contest not only highlights the quality of organic wines but also opens new commercial opportunities for producers, helping them reach emerging markets and gain recognition for their exceptional products.
> The contest
In early January 2025, the 18th edition of the Challenge Millésime BIO, the World Contest for Organic Wines and Beers, will take place. Since its establishment in 2007, the competition has grown to showcase over 2,000 organic wines from around the globe.
This prestigious event highlights the finest organic wines, attracting participants from more than 14 countries. It serves as a platform for recognising excellence in organic viticulture and promoting the best practices in sustainable winemaking.
> Who are the tasters?
We prioritise the careful selection of our jury, as it plays a crucial role in establishing the reputation of our competition and the value of the awards presented to the wines. Each edition is organised with a diverse and competent group of tasters.
Applications from new tasters are thoroughly reviewed and approved based on our stringent selection criteria. We believe in blending highly knowledgeable amateur tasters with seasoned industry professionals, fostering dynamic discussions and enriching the tasting experience.
Every year, a growing number of organic wine producers from France and around the world sign up to take part in the world's premier organic wine tasting event!
