The First Annual MIWC Took Place on October 10th, 2014, in Melbourne
The MIWC was held last month at the RACV City Club in the center of Melbourne. This year’s impressive judging panel included buyers from top retail stores, sommeliers, distributors, and importers. The judges were excited by the high quality of known wines submitted as well as the large number of new wine brands looking to break into the Asia Pacific Market. The 2nd Annual Melbourne International Wine Competition will be held June 28th 2015.
