About The Korea Wine Challenge:

KWC aims to select wines whose quality and value have been recognized by Korean juries composed only of incumbent leading sommeliers and to inform Korean consumers of the results. All wines are 100% blind tasting with no price or producer information provided. One of the essential purposes of the KWC International Wine Competition is to widely recognize among Korean importers and distributors the wines whose quality and value have been proven through the event and ultimately realize distribution in the Korean market.

Wine Review, the only magazine in Korea promoting wines online and offline, hosts this event.
