ABOUT US
Our Vision
Now in its 28th year, Japan Wine Challenge’s key focus continues to be the development of consumer/wine lover awareness and understanding of wines, resulting in on-going increase in sales of quality wines in this very demanding market.
The Japan Wine Challenge is generally considered to be the key vehicle to be properly understood in the market. Exporters, importers and the trade can value and appreciate the Japan WINE Challenge award medal seals which truly confirm that the wine carrying them has been judged to be an appropriate choice for the Japan consumers.
Once the competition is finished each year, we focus all our attention on getting the results out in timely manner, both on the website and through our E-magazine, and to working with entrants worldwide through our medal seals and related promotions to develop demand for their wines in Japan and around the world.
