On Friday 28 November, wine lovers and trade gathered in Seoul’s Gangnam district in the heart of South Korea, for an spectacular walk around tasting.
For the event, Decanter teamed up with Winevision, one of South Korea’s most respected and widely-recognised wine and spirit educational institutions. Hosted at Winevision’s headquarters and organised by co-owner, leading educator and DWWA judge Moonsong Bang, the tasting showcased more than 80 award-winning wines from Decanter World Wine Awards (DWWA) 2025.
Attendees had the opportunity to sample an impressive range of styles from 19 countries. From Old World to New World expressions, and from sparkling and rosé wines to sweets and fortified styles, the breadth, diversity and quality of the DWWA winners was unmistakable.
Wines were grouped by country for guests to focus on regions and wines of interest.
Among the selection were 11 of last year’s 50 Best in Show winners and 30 Platinum winners, all scoring 97 points. There were also 27 Gold, 11 Silver and six Bronze medal winners.
The wines were organised by country across two floors, allowing guests to explore the depth of styles and winners from each region. On the ground floor, guests were welcomed with the sparkling and fortified selection, including five outstanding Platinum winners from Australia, Portugal and Spain.
On the ground floor there was an outstanding variety of sparkling, sweet and fortified winners.
