Why Enter the London Spirits Competition?

The London Spirits Competition stands out in the industry for its unique judging process. Rather than simply evaluating spirits based on technical aspects, the competition judges wines across three essential criteria:

• Quality: The taste, aroma, and overall craftsmanship of the spirit.
• Value for Money: How well your spirit competes in terms of price, making it a great choice for trade buyers and consumers alike.
• Packaging and Design: The visual appeal that ensures your spirit stands out on shelves and behind bars.

To win an award, your spirit must demonstrate high quality, exceptional value for money, and an eye-catching design—traits that will make it a top contender for placement in retailers’ stores and restaurant wine lists.
