Louis Roederer Wine Writers’ Awards 2019 open
Entries are now open for this year’s Champagne Louis Roederer International Wine Writers’ Awards 2019.
2018’s award winners
The competition, now in their 15th year, is open to wine writers from all countries, through all written and visual mediums. The 2019 competition will see the launch of a new category, the Pio Cesare Consumer Title Writer of the Year, which will replace the Food and Wine Award. This new category is aimed at journalists who do not specialise in wine, and excludes wine specific publications and broadsheet newspapers.
The Consumer Title Writer of the Year will be a published lifestyle journalist or writer from a non-specialist wine background who is communicating about wine “directly to consumers in an interesting and thought provoking way”.

This year’s judging panel, chaired by Charles Metcalfe, includes, Joanna Simon, John Stimpfig, Emma Symington MW, Anne Krebiehl MW, Victoria Moore and Victoria Hall.
