You are not obligated to order stickers, but if you indicate that you do need stickers, you have to take them when the winners are announced, as set out in the event rules. If you do not want stickers, please indicate the number of stickers needed as 0 (zero).

When you deliver your samples you need a current WSR2 or WSR4 certificate for each wine, or a Department of Agriculture Wine-on-Line screen capture printout to show the wine has a current tasting date. For white wine, the tasting date that the wine was approved on should not be more than 12 months prior to the first day of delivery, and not more than 18 months previously for red wine.

For spirits or other uncertified products, no WSR certificate is needed.

• Unlabelled samples must be representative of the final product, and must be in their final bottled state.
• Tank samples are not allowed.
• Unlabelled samples must have a sticker on the bottle with all the relevant entry details.
• Unlabelled spirits can be entered as long as the sample bears all the details needed for entry on a sticker.
• Wines can be entered as long as the wine has a current tasting date and was approved by SAWIS.
• For white wine, the tasting date that the wine was approved on should not be more than 12 months prior to 10th August 2020, and not more than 18 months previously for red wine.

The tasting procedure will be audited by a reputable auditing firm to ensure the judges are not influenced and the tasting is done blind and conforms to international standards.

An electronic certificate will be sent by email to the winners. If the same product is available under different product names, additional certificates can be requested at no extra cost.

We will endeavour to have the stickers ready for collection around two weeks after the results are anounced. The stickers have to be paid for prior to collection, unless other arrangements are made with the organisers.
