ASIA WORLD SPIRITS COMPETITION - The Tasting Alliance

JULY 2025

ASIA WORLD SPIRITS COMPETITION

The Asia World Spirits Competition (formerly the Singapore World Spirits Competition) highlights the dynamic spirits industry across Asia and Australasia, with class codes designed to reflect regional production and consumption trends. Interestingly, Asia isn’t just the world’s largest producer of spirits—it also leads in consumption. Earning a medal from the AWSC’s esteemed panel of judges not only enhances a brand’s reputation but also opens doors to global markets, solidifying its place among the world’s finest spirits. We are pleased to announce that we are now open for entries for the 2025 Competition taking place in July.

HOW TO ENTER

The Tasting Alliance Competitions welcomes entries from both established brands and emerging producers. Your product does not need to be commercially available to enter — we accept wines that are still in development, even if the final packaging is not yet complete. Our competition features a wide range of categories, ensuring that all styles of wine have the opportunity to be evaluated by our expert judges.

Entries are open to both domestic and international producers, including brands that have not yet secured distribution. Submitted samples should accurately represent the final product in terms of formulation and production quality.
