Find out who will be taking up the position as Chair on the DWWA judging team
A competition is only as good as its judges, and the Decanter World Wine Awards prides itself on recruiting the world’s greatest wine palates, including merchants, sommeliers, critics, wine writers, Masters of Wine, and Master Sommeliers.
This year, we have recruited a number of new Regional Chairs to mark the 10th anniversary of the prestigious wine competition. We only recruit Regional Chairs who we believe have an intimate knowledge of a specific region, which we believe is crucial in order to recognise typicity and quality.
