The Decanter World Wine Awards unveiled a record number of entries this morning, as it announced the results of the 2010 competition.
Decanter publishing director Sarah Kemp and consultant editor Steven Spurrier announce the results of the 2010 Decanter World Wine Awards at the London International Wine Fair.
The demise of First Quench Retailing should not be seen as the 'death knell' for specialist wine retailers in the UK, says a leading supplier.
Michael Broadbent's resounding victory in the English courts, with Random House apologising unreservedly for, and admitting the untruth of, allegations in The Billionaire's Vinegar that Broadbent had acted unprofessionally in an auction, and moreover was 'improperly' close to Hardy Rodenstock, is only the end of one chapter in the near quarter-century-long saga of the Jefferson Bottles.
Pinot Noir is the holy grail for winemakers and wine lovers. It can be sublime but is often disappointing. You’ll find a short list of those that won’t let you down. For more details go to http://www.decanter.com/worldwineawards/ 2009/results.php and use the dropdowns to search 'Pinot Noir' and 'Gold'.
Coonawarra put Australia on the Cabernet map and it’s stil up there with the best. But there are plenty of other regions making very attractive Cabernet varietals and blends at even more attractive prices. For more details go to http://www.decanter.com/ worldwineawards/2009/results.php and use the dropdowns to search 'Australia', 'Cabernet Sauvignon' and 'Under £10'.
The rise of rosé shows no sign of abating. From the pale, delicate Provençal style to the ever-popular Château de Sours, we've found a pink for every wine lover – and for less than a crisp £10 note. For more details go to http://www.decanter.com/ worldwineawards/2009/results.php and use the dropdowns to search 'Rose', 'France' and 'Under £10'.
Bordeaux makes the most precious wines in the world but in the lower price brackets it can be a different story. Finding a decent claret for less than a tenner can sometimes be a thankless task but we think we’ve found them. For more details go to http://www.decanter.com/worldwineawards/ 2009/results.php and use the dropdowns to search 'Bordeaux' and 'Under £10'
France won the most golds with 20% (50 wines) of their entries winning a gold medal. Here we've chosen 12 from around the country. For more details go to http://www.decanter.com/ worldwineawards/2009/results.php and use the dropdowns to search 'France' and 'Gold'.
From Tesco’s own label to established names like Taylor’s, the Port and Madeira category delivered consistently high quality and worthy gold winners. For more details go to http://www.decanter.com/ worldwineawards/2009/results.php and use the dropdowns to search for 'Port', 'Madeira' and 'Gold'.
The battle between retailers is fierce so Waitrose will be happy to hear it has beaten off its rivals to take the most trophies in this year's Decanter World Wine Awards. For more details go to http://www.decanter.com/worldwineawards/2009/ results.php and enter 'Waitrose' in the 'Search by Producer' box.
Canada is famed for making ice wine. We’ve compiled a list of the country's best so you can find the perfect sweetie to drink with this year’s Christmas pudding. For more details go to http://www.decanter.com/worldwineawards/ 2009/results.php and use the dropdowns to search for 'Canada' and 'Ice Wine'
It's a minefield finding a super Sangiovese at under a tenner so we've done the hard work for you. For more details go to http://www.decanter.com/ worldwineawards/2009/results.php and use the dropdowns to search for 'Chianti' and 'under £10'.
