Presentation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

To determine and honor the best wines of a given appellation or type, the Slovenian Consulate of the OEVE has set up “wine tournaments”.<\/p>\n\n

This year’s 27th tournament pitted 25 Sauvignon Blanc varietal wines against each other.<\/p>\n\n

The competing wines were divided into 5 groups of up to 5, with each group being judged by a jury (typically made up of 7 judges).<\/p>\n\n

Wines are served blind, in order of increasing residual sugar content.<\/p>\n\n

Participants (up to 70) are also invited, each on their own behalf, to taste the same wines under the same conditions, and choose their favorite.<\/p>\n\n

Organisation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Jury presentation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

5 sommeliers (1 per wine in each round) are responsible for serving the jury, then the participants. To avoid confusion, glasses are marked with a letter (A,B,C,D,E).<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

For each group of wines, each member of the jury ranks the wines tasted in order of preference, from 1 to 5.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

A wine’s score is then obtained by summation, the best being the one with the lowest sum of ranks (Kramer’s method). (M\u00e9thode de Kramer). In the event of a tie, the wine ranked last least often (]. Penultimate, etc.) is selected.Each new round is announced with fanfare.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The 5 winners of this first round then compete in a second round using the same procedure.<\/p>\n\n

Les meilleurs de ce 2\u00e8me tour sont alors prim\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The whole procedure takes around 2 hours, and of course the tournament is followed by agape !<\/p>\n\n

We note the originality of the selection process, in which each juror decides individually, the more common practice being to reach a consensus within the jury, which is generally smaller (typically 3 or 4 people).<\/p>\n\n

Un autre exemple est celui du tournoi organis\u00e9 by the Brothrhood of the Croatin Wine Knights (see our recent article here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n

In any case, we invite our Brotherhoods to think about the widespread use of this type of event, and will be taking an initiative in this area in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
