And how is a consumer supposed to make sense of these awards and use this as a guiding tool. These are far too many wines ... Reduce the number of awards ... Robert should have know better This seems more and exercise to give the max possible labels a medal while also maintaining some standards of quality and Sanity . The awards are good and well deserved for the top Wines but far too many wines winning silver and bronze give a skewed picture.

Regards,
Alco Bev

Hi,

We won a silver medal with our Australian sparkling wine - GRIFFITH PARK. Please could you amend it to Vickery Wines rather than Cockatoo Ridge Wines as we are the owner of the label.

Thank you,

Kind Regards,

Islay Kennedy

Hi Islay, Subhash, Zoe

Islay, it was very good to see you in Delhi. I hope your trip was worthwhile and am happy to correct the data you refer to, I think you already have the correct certificate.

Subhash, Zoe, please could we amend the details regarding this wine.

Many thanks
Best Regards to all
