  • VWC Sprng Competition

    On Feb 14th 2010



    Here is your chance to have your wines assessed by a National Wine judge, and detailed feedback sent to you afterwards.

    the last time we ran it....(at Ponte open show) it was a huge success!

    I will post you the labels for the wine competition

    There will be three classes:




    Red dry (the wine needs to be Red and dry)
    please write in the box provided (marked "class")..Red dry


    White dry (the wine needs to be white or golden coloured and dry)
    please write in the box provided (marked "class")..white dry

    Write your name below the line marked "cover line" and what the wine is i.e. No1..or..youngs chardonnay

    the wines will be judged as per normal wine competition, where 6 places will be awarded



    and an Open class, where you may enter anything.

    Please write in the box provided (marked "class") which class you are entering that bottle into, and then below the line that says "cover line" write your name and what the wine is, and the sweetness level (if you arent sure of the sweetness level, then write the SG on the lable below the cover up line)

    i.e. mead dry....rose medium, red sweet, port

    this is so we can arrange them in the order in which they will be judged (driest first, and lightest first)


    the wines in this class will be judged using the UCDavis 20 point system, where the wine is awarded marks out of 20 and awarded gold, silver, bronze and honourable mention.
    (marking sheet attached) order of judging is normally white dry, red dry, white medium, red medium, white sweet, red sweet etc etc

    so in this class the wine isn't competing against other wines, it is merely being evaluated and given a score. This works well for you if you make "unusual" wines that dont fit competition criteria.

    Will try to give everyone who enters as much feedback as possibl afterwards.

    please join in the fun...

    if you havent signed up for VWC yet, please do so, it will be fun.

    if you need bottles then drop me a PM and I will get them to you ASAP

    send filled bottles to:

    Bob Morton
    LDC House
    Stuart Road
    Pontefract
    West Yorkshire
    WF8 4PQ

          count me in you should be recieving the two bottles of rat poison some time this week so can you send the bottles and lable to me when avalivble plelase
          Wine from grapes is alright, but nothing beats the proper stuff to make wine with.

                      OK ... good luck

                      The roads in Kent were interesting this morning - our track day at Brands Hatch was abandoned due to snow.

                        OK
                        so this has sat still for some time due to work commitments, so we are approaching the dat quickly, and it occured to me we may not have the time to get all the entries in, how does everyone feel about switching it and combining it with the Yorkshire
                        Federation VWC section which takes place on June 12th?

                        I am perfectly happy to still run both, but wanted the numbers to be good.

                        I will leave it up to you guys how you wish to proceed with it.

                        it is open to all, it doesnt matter how good/bad/old/new your wines are, you will get something from it I assure you, so go on, have a go, you will get detailed feedback on the wine.

                        let me know
                        regards
