We take great pride in curating a dynamic panel of judges comprised of highly decorated and extremely reputable individuals with tremendous and diverse experience in all aspects of the wine industry.
The panel we have assembled perfectly fits the high level of quality and visibility that we aim to provide.
The judging process is conducted as a 100% blind-tasting process from the early rounds all the way through the sweepstakes rounds.
An extensive number of diverse and very specific wine categories have been created to ensure that the entries are judged correctly.
Upon receipt, each entry is registered by the supplier and meticulously verified by our staff before being cataloged in our system and, if necessary, categorized into the most fitting sub-category. During the competition, wine within their designated sub-categories are sampled together as flights, meticulously evaluated, and numerically scored by each judge.
Each judge assigns a score to the spirit, and the collective scores determine its final score, and if applicable a numerical score for Platinum and Gold. Spirit deemed outstanding in the preliminary judging process advances to the final sweepstakes, where the entire panel reassesses them to determine the highest honors - The Best of Category and Best in Show.
The winners will be announced 30 - 45 days after the competition's completion and will be disseminated via the Miami Global Awards website, reaching millions across the industry and public consumers worldwide.
Every winner will receive a unique digital medal, symbolizing their achievement, with unrestricted usage rights, along with a comprehensive digital media kit containing various file format graphics and press release links.
