Our Competitions
German wine presents itself with various facets. The selection of grape varieties, vinification methods, and terroirs can compete on the international stage. In the Scandinavian region, there are increasingly more enthusiasts of German still and sparkling wines. Due to the steadily growing popularity in the Northern European region, we offer MUNDUS VINI NORDIC as a platform for German producers who want to successfully establish their wines in Finland, Sweden, Norway, or beyond in the market.
Few things are as diverse and varied as the world of spirits. What drives the industry is unbridled creativity, the search for the extraordinary and the pursuit of the highest quality.
In contrast to typical beer competitions, the Finest Beer Selection is not a competition where beers within each category are compared to other beers. The concept is more of a sensory excellence assessment. The Finest Beer Selection is the new reliable quality compass for breweries, trade, and all beer consumers.
The international competition Best of Riesling was established in the year 2000 as part of the Rhineland-Palatinate Riesling Initiative, aimed at further enhancing the recognition of this grape variety on an international level. As a recognized competition, the protected Best of Riesling emblem can be used in individual business marketing.
German sparkling wine, and by that we mean the exceptional sparkling wines produced through the classic traditional bottle fermentation method, continues to be a prominent topic in the wine industry. It's no coincidence that it's considered a mark of quality for almost every winery to offer its customers a 'Winemaker's Sparkling Wine'.
For many years, red wine has been playing an increasingly significant role in German viticulture. German Pinot Noir, known as Spätburgunder, has gained international recognition that was once reserved solely for its counterparts from Burgundy. Grape varieties such as Lemberger, Portugieser, as well as international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, which German winemakers are cultivating and producing at higher qualities, now captivate not only German wine enthusiasts but are also in demand internationally like never before.
Rosé wines are enjoying great popularity. Whether as a refreshing sip on the terrace during summer or at a picnic, as an uncomplicated companion to meals, or simply enjoyed on its own. But rosé can do even more. Nowadays, rosés of high quality are being produced that can also age fantastically. It's not surprising that rosés have seen significant growth in the market in recent years. And every winemaker has at least one in their portfolio. A true all-rounder indeed.
White Burgundy varieties have been gaining increasing popularity for years, both in cultivation and among wine enthusiasts. In 1995, only about 4-5% of the German vineyard area was planted with the grape varieties Weißburgunder (Pinot Blanc), Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris), and Chardonnay. However, by 2019, their share has grown to approximately 15%, marking a tripling within just about 15 years.
