TASTING SYSTEM & AWARDS
In the Championship, the competition begins with a series of blind tasting rounds in which each wine is randomly paired with another. In every pairing, the wine that receives the majority of favorable votes from the jury advances to the next round, while the other wine is eliminated from the championship. Once a round is complete, the winning wines are randomly paired again for subsequent rounds, where each pairing is again judged by the jury members. This process continues, with wines facing new randomly picked opponents at every stage, until the competition reaches only 32 wines remaining).
HOW IT WILL BE JUDGED
Initial rounds: Wines are paired and judged, with the winners advancing to the next stage.
