HELSINKI, Dec. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- BWW-The Best Wine of the World-competition is by far the toughest wine competition on this planet. Unlike any other industry competition, only 1% of the wines involved will be awarded.

The BWW competition was held in the world's largest wine information service - tastingbook.com. 18,477 wines received in total 2,354,989 votes from 416,000 wine professionals and wine lovers from 116 countries during the three months voting period.

After the voting period, only 100 most voted wines in six different categories remained in the Finals, organized in January 2019. The six main categories included red wine, white wine, rose wine, sparkling wine, fortified wine, champagne and Wine Critic.

In BWW Competition 2018, the Best Wine Critic of the World -title was awarded to Jancis Robinson MW.

"I feel extremely honoured to have been recognised by so many wine professionals around the world, particularly when the competition is so extremely strong. And I'm thrilled to see that my JancisRobinson.com colleague Julia Harding MW is also highly valued. I think all of us who write about wine know that, however enviable our work seems, it is increasingly demanding, even if always rewarding. Here's to wine! And of course, to the organisers of this poll." - Jancis Robinson MW
