As an illustration of the passion, tradition and continuous concern for good wine in Romania, it would be good to know that in 2023 the national blind tasting team took the first place at the World Blind Tasting Championship organized in France by the prestigious La Revue de Vin de France publication.
During the competition, the teams – made up of four tasters and a coach – tasted six red wines and six white wines from around the world, without knowing their identity. For each individual drink, the teams had to identify the variety, country of origin, region, harvest year and, if possible, the producer, each of the identified criteria being scored differently – a performance that combines reaction speed, concentration and team spirit.
The competition, now in its 11th edition, took place at Château Sainte-Roseline in Provence, bringing together for the first time in its history five continents and 33 participating countries.
