The Frankfurt International Wine Trophy is a big international competition in Germany that invites experienced amateurs to parcipate as jurors. With more than 2,000 wines from 30 countries from around the world, the competition took its place amongst the great wine competitions organised in Europe. Amateurs, well-known sommeliers and other international experts taste and judge the wines together. The goal is to take consumer tastes better into account in the selection. Since its creation, the Frankfurt International Trophy has been able to rely on a variety of strong and renowned partners. Together, they promote the international reputation of the competition that takes place in the historical hall of the famous Gesellschaftshaus Palmengarten, which dates back to 1870 and is located in the heart of Frankfurt-on-the-Main. The competition has strong ties to the restaurant world and is represented each year by an honorary president of renown (famous German Michelin star chef). For the 2020 edition, Nils Henkel, chef at the restaurant "Schwarzenstein, Geisenheim-Johannisberg" (two Michelin stars), is the Honorary president of the Frankfurt International Trophy. The quality wines awarded medals by the Frankfurt competition have even greater value because they are the object of a rigorous selection. Both buyers and consumers profit from the high standards of the ISO-9001 certified competition and the ‘consumer opinion’ expressed on each medal-bearing bottle.
