16. Amateur Wine Competition Comments
Quality wines require quality fruit.
Judges are only human and do their very best in evaluating a wine.
Less is always better. Don’t go overboard with flavorings or wine combinations.
Does your style make sense?
As a winemaker you should know what wine category your wine belongs in.
