It's All About The Grapes...
The International Green Wine Competition is the first and only competition devoted to recognizing and rewarding outstanding wines made from Biodyvin (France) certified, Demeter certified Biodynamic (R) (International), Certified Organic, Transitional and Natural grapes.
This competition creates a roadmap to great wine for the green-minded consumer, solving the problem of "which organic wines do I want to buy?" After the competition, consumers will be able to download, free, the Consumer's Green Wine List(tm), which will list all winning wines, their makers, and contact information.
Please turn to the "Rules" page for information on the four classes of competition and how you may enter.
We welcome your entry and celebrate the explosive and exciting new "Green" winemaking field, its' wines, winemakers, winery owners, vineyard managers, and all who strive to meet the challenge of protecting our earth.
