SAN FRANCISCO WORLD SPIRITS COMPETITION
A medal in this contest distinguishes us from competitors and places our products at another level. With almost two decades of experience, the San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC) has become one of the most respected distillate competitions in the world, largely in part to its judges, each of them offering a different background and a trusted palate. These experts are one of the reasons why an SFWSC medal indicates the highest level of quality. Winners of the Gold, Double Gold and Premium awards are included in an issue of The Tasting Panel Magazine, reaching more than 90,000 decision makers involved in the beverage trade.
LONDON SPIRITS COMPETITION
A competition that judges three key aspects in a product to determine its excellence: quality, price / value ratio and packaging design. The London Spirits Competition is a contest that seeks to recognize, reward, and help promote brands of spirits that have been created successfully to identify and target a specific segment of alcoholic beverages. Winning a London Spirits Competition medal clearly establishes how well products will be perceived in the market for trading purposes and is a good indicator for stocking up on those products. It will also allow the trade to sell the product to its target consumer with confidence, since they were judged on the merits of value, packaging and quality.
