> Order/download the stickers

Gironde’s Department of Agriculture and the Agriculture Exhibition of Aquitaine has developed numerous promotion methods to introduce and recognise medal-winning wines. They can only have an impact if the buyers and consumers can identify the winning wines. Otherwise, it would mean promoting a product that doesn’t exist...... This is why it is absolutely necessary to show your medal on your bottles! You may also mention your success on any marketing material.

To display your medal on the bottles, we propose 2 solutions:

1) 1) you can put a sticker next to the label of your wine (only 2 printers are authorised by the organisation to make this sticker)

or

2) 2) You can integrate the medal directly into the label itself

2009: a new graphic look for the medals

In 2009, the Bordeaux Wine Awards adopted a new visual identity. The idea was to make the medals more visible, and easier to recognise by the consumers.

Please note that if you wish to print out the label of a wine awarded a medal at the 2009 competition, you must use the new version of the medal. If you wish to print out the label of a wine awarded a medal before the 2009 competition, you must use the old medal.

New Bordeaux Wine Awards medals, for all award-winning wines from 2009 onwards

The first ambassadors

As well as medal winners, you are the first ’ambassadors’ of the competition! Feel free to flaunt your achievement, and remind your customers what gives the Bordeaux Wine Awards – Wines of Aquitaine its reputation.

• The selection of professionals
  Choosing a medal winning wine at the Bordeaux Wine Awards is to choose a wine selected by specialists: all of the tasters at the competition are wine professionals.

• No fraud
  The Bordeaux Wine Awards, approved by the Minister for Agriculture and organised by the Gironde Department of Agriculture, has developed different procedures to prevent all attempts at fraud: wines preselected directly at the chateau, blind tasting.... A numbering system permits the inspection of medal stickers on the bottles, preventing a non-prize-winning wine being given a medal from the competition.

• A certified competition
  The Bordeaux Wine Awards are ISO 9001 certified – version 2000 for its organisation, efficient and highly capable judging by an independent certifying body.

• Products that are easily recognised
  All medal winning wines from the Bordeaux Wine Awards are recognisable thanks to the unique logo visible on the label or by a sticker on the bottle. This image, easily identifiable, is the proof that the wine has been selected at the Bordeaux Wine Awards.

• A commitment to sustainable development
  Since 2006, the Bordeaux Wine Awards – Wines of Aquitaine has been 100% committed to sustainable development. Everything is considered so as to limit the impact on the environment, combining social and economic responsibilities ; sorting waste, reducing the use of paper to a strict minimum, selecting suppliers within the region, partnerships with associations and much more. To know more about eco-commitment...

• A wide range of choice
  The Bordeaux Wine Awards does not mean the latest vintage of Bordeaux wines! All the appellations from the Aquitaine region are represented, from Irouleguy to Côtes de Castillon by way of Saint-Emillion or Sauternes. All appellations, that means all colours (red, white, rose, sparkling, syrupy....), but also all prices! Therefore, everyone can find what they’re looking for among the range of medal winning wines from the Bordeaux Wine Awards.
