Biggest Regional Wine Event Balkans International Wine Competition Postponed

Due to the decision to limit the number of people in groups outdoors and indoors to 10, as part of the measures to counter the COVID-19 epidemic, the Balkans International Wine Competition, scheduled for July 15-17 in Belgrade, has been postponed for September.

The biggest regional wine competition will be held in Belgrade on September 9-11, the organizers announced.

– Due to the latest strict epidemiological measures in the host-country, Serbia, we were forced to postpone the event. We are very sorry for the inconvenience, but we promise that we will do everything in our power to organize an excellent competition in September. Furthermore, we also want to organize a tasting session for representatives of the wine sector, masterclasses and a gala dinner, even better and more glamorous than initially planned. In Serbia, we will also award Best of Show trophies for wines from all the countries-participants and announce the new host-country for the BIWC 2021 – Galina Niforou and Konstantinos Lazarakis MW, and the whole BIWC team, said in a joint letter.

They announced that the winners of all the medals will be announced at the gala event in Sofia on September 16, which will act as an introduction to the Balkan Wine Festival, scheduled for September 17-19 in front of the National Palace of Culture in Sofia, where all the countries of the Balkans will present their wines within national pavilions.

– You will be informed of all potential changes subsequently. Thank you for your trust – the organizers said.
