wine competition
A wine competition is an organized event in which trained judges or consumers competitively rate different vintages or bands of wine. There are two types of wine competitions, both of which use blind tasting of wine to prevent bias by the judges.
==Types of wine competition==
The most common form of wine competition is intended to obtain valid comparisons of wines by trained experts. The awards are given to groups of wines in various categories on the basis of the blind tasting. The awards are frequently bronze, silver, gold, and double gold medals. However, ribbons of various colors are also sometimes used.These competitions often include a "Best of Class" award, producing a clear category winner among those vintages awarded a gold medal, for example the Los Angeles International Wine & Spirits Competition.〔(2009 Los Angeles International Wine & Spirits Competition )〕 The other form of competition is most often organized by wine lovers and is consumer-oriented. The judges also evaluate the wines blind. However, instead of giving numerous awards, the wines are ranked by number from high to low in each wine category, a process known as ordinal ranking. Thus, there is only one first-place winner, one second place, one third place, and so on down to the lowest place.
There are critics who argue that the results of such competitions may be misleading and should not be relied upon as a measure of quality.〔Orley Ashenfelter and Richard E. Quandt (Analyzing a Wine Tasting Statistically )〕 Other commentators argue that, because of wine competitions, wine quality has improved in many countries around the world.
