All\nThings Nice held its annual wine competition – the Indian Wine Consumers Choice\nAwards (IWCCA) in Mumbai on the 18th of January 2020<\/strong> at\nSofitel Mumbai BKC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IWCCA 2020 <\/strong>partners included – <\/strong>Title Sponsor – Shaze, Hospitality Partner – Sofitel Mumbai BKC, Veen\nWaters. Print Media Sponsor \u2013 Uppercrust Magazine, TV Media Partner – Zee\nLiving Foodz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\naim of IWCCA 2020 is to continue to give Indian consumers an opportunity to\njudge for themselves and on behalf of other consumers the best Indian &\nInternational wines available in the country. This annual accreditation, a\nbrainchild of Sommelier Nikhil Agarwal (CEO \u2013 All Things Nice) opens the doors\nfor consumers to acknowledge and celebrate new vintages and new wines launched\nin the market, as well as provide insight to wineries about what the rapidly\nincreasing Indian market is inclined towards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All\ndomestically produced wines, as well as International Wines imported into India\nwere professionally categorized into a systematic blind tasting done by actual\nwine enthusiasts who judged the wine based on the quality of the wine alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018In its 9th<\/sup> year the\nIndian Wine Consumer\u2019s Choice Awards is bigger and more relevant. Wine\nconsumption is growing at a steady rate and the IWCCA gives people a unique\nopportunity to make buying decisions based on the preferences of global and\nIndian wine aficionados themselves\u2019<\/em> says Nikhil Agarwal,\nSommelier and CEO of All Things Nice<\/strong> and the mastermind behind the IWCCA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This competition thereby reveals an independent list of finest wines available in India judged by the very people who drink them. The consumers taste the wines blind, unaware of the brand name or price point thereby allowing an unbiased judgment based purely on the quality of the wine itself. The only information provided is the grape varietal\/s and country. Over 200 wines were entered into the competition and judged by approximately 100 people from all over the world who live in India. The following wines were awarded Gold, Silver and Bronze medals at the IWCCA 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
