MACAU, April 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Wynn will soon reveal the winners of the world's first and biggest Chinese wine competition of international standard – the "Wynn Signature Chinese Wine Awards" – at the highly anticipated awards gala dinner in April. In early March, Wynn welcomed the world's foremost authorities and judges in Old and New world wines to Macau. An esteemed panel of 27 internationally acclaimed judges, including seven masters of wine, gathered at Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace to conduct intensive blind tastings for China's finest wines produced by nearly 200 wineries across the nation. Following on from the judging week, Wynn will host the "Wynn Signature Chinese Wine Awards Gala Dinner" on April 13, awarding 23 trophies to Chinese wines of exceptional quality.

The judging week for the competition was held in early March at Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace. The "Wynn Signature Chinese Wine Awards" competition implemented an exacting and professional evaluation system tailored to Chinese wines. Judging was conducted through blind tastings, adhering to the internationally recognized 100-point scale, and utilizing a comprehensive grading system to determine the award winners. The judges rated the bronze medal (85-89 points), silver medal (90-94 points) and gold medal (95-100 points) wines first, and then the gold medal winners competed for 23 trophies awarded across three major categories: "Wynn Signature Trophies", "Varietals Champion Trophies" and "Regional Champion Trophies". All of the award-winning wines will be officially announced and honored at the "Wynn Signature Chinese Wine Awards" gala dinner on April 13.
