The tastings are blind, the bottles are rendered anonymous by the organising team, as soon as they are received, being placed in a neutral packaging, guarantying anonymity.
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 what we refer to as the Round of 32 (when there are only 32 wines remaining).
