Award Winning Wines

Award-Winning Winemakers Choose Winexpert Brands

At the 2011 WineMaker International Amateur Wine Competition, held April 8-10, wines made with Winexpert brands were awarded a total of 220 medals.

Each year, winemakers throughout North America put their trust in Winexpert and enter wines made with our products, and each year those wines consistently receive amazing results in this competition across all of Winexpert brands: Limited Edition, Estate, International, Original, World Vineyard, Vintners Reserve, Spéciale and Island Mist. This is a testament to their winemaking ability and also to the award-winning quality that Winexpert wine kits produce.

The Highlights:

  • A Winexpert Selection Estate Lodi Ranch 11 Cabernet Sauvignon took home this year's Best of Show Kit/Concentrate.
  • Wines made with Selection Limited Edition won an incredible 47 medals.
  • For the fourth year in a row, our Cabernet Franc Icewine style was a gold medal winner.  Along with all three of the past Seasonal Release varieties (Chocolate Raspberry Port, Blackberry Port, and Okanagan Peach Icewine) were once again gold medal winners.
  • In 2010, 97 different Winexpert products won an award!

The results above reflect that of just one competition.  Each year, wines made with Winexpert products win hundreds of medals at major amateur winemaking competitions held throughout North America.  But it’s not the medals that we’re proud of. What we value most is that you, our customer, trust that you will produce a wine of award-winning quality when you choose Winexpert brands.

Taste the success! And let Just Fine Wine help you choose your next award-winning wine kit.
