Recognising excellence in the vine and wine sector
Since 1930, the OIV Awards have recognised excellence in the vine and wine sector publications. This distinction is granted annually by an international Jury composed of esteemed experts representing OIV member countries. The Jury’s decision is based on consensus, recognising outstanding works in each competition category.
Additionally, works that merit recognition may receive a "Special Mention." This is granted based on the same evaluation criteria, ensuring only the highest-quality works are honoured.
