Peter Forrestal judges entries in the 2007 Show

Sponsor of the Trophy for the 
   best Commercial Red Wine

The Riverina Wine Show has been held annually in Griffith for over 35 years. The show is open to any Australian winemaker.

This year, the structure of the Riverina wine show has been changed with the judging of premium and commercial wines to be undertaken separately.  The premium classes will continue as before, while commercial classes have been developed to recognise the major retail categories of the Australian wine market.  A wine can be entered in either a premium or commercial class, but not both.

The Australian Commercial Wine Show is a truly commercial show with entry requirements of a minimum 5,000 cases (with at least 1,000 cases in bottle, the rest may be in tank).  This will allow promotion of trophies and medals on subsequent bottlings.  

Trophies will be limited to the best dry white, best dry red and sparkling. Woolworths Liquor Group is sponsoring the trophy for the Best Commercial Red Wine.  Part of the Trophy sponsorship package is the option (subject to commercial agreement) for Woolworth's Liquor Group to purchase 1,000 cases of the winner, to be sold in conjunction with promotion of the results of the Show.

Judging is headed by Lester Jesberg (Winewise) from the ACT.  He will be assisted by Stephen Brook (London) and David Morris of Morris Wines.
