Award-winning wines from Mundus Vini
History and background
The annual MUNDUS VINI International Wine Awards were organised for the first time in 2001. At its debut, 2,235 participants from all the world's main wine-growing regions had already registered. The record number of 6,000 registered participants in 2011 clearly shows how important this competition has become in Germany. The aim of the competition is to promote the quality and marketing of the participating wines. The awards offer producers and winegrowers, importers and consumers a forum that firstly enables a direct comparison of wines and thus serves as a valuable aid to orientation and decision-making when purchasing wine. It also reaches a large audience. While the competition serves as a helpful guide for consumers, producers receive the recognition they deserve for their hard work. This allows them to measure their standards and performance at an international level and the awards they win enable prestigious labelling of successful products for effective marketing.

The judging system
The jury, which judges and evaluates the participating wines, is made up of international oenologists, wine analysts, specialist retailers, sommeliers, trade journalists and buyers from major retailers. The ratings are based on the international 100-point scale. No wine has yet achieved the coveted 100 points, but every year there are a number of "candidates" that come very close to this dream result and are duly honoured and recognised with a double gold medal.
| Mundus Vini medals | Evaluation background |
| Silver |
A score of at least 85 points is required for a silver medal. Here too, only the wines with the highest score in this area are awarded a silver medal. This means that the minimum number of points required may well be higher. Each year, the MUNDUS VINI International Wine Award also presents additional awards and honours. |
| Gold | A minimum score of 90 points must be achieved to be honoured with "Gold". However, only the wines with the highest score in this area actually receive a gold medal. This means that the score for a medal may well be more than 90 points. |
| Grand Gold - Double Gold | The Grand Gold or Double Gold award is only given to the crème de la crème of the participating wines. This requires a score of at least 95 points from the international jury. However, only the wines with the highest score in this area actually receive a double gold medal. This means that the score for a medal may well be more than 95 points. |
