The 2025 Wynn Signature Chinese Wine Awards’ six-day judging week will kick off on Friday and run through Wednesday, being hosted at Wynn Macau on the peninsula and Wynn Palace in Cotai, integrated resort (IR) operator Wynn said in a statement on Monday.
The statement noted that the highly anticipated event follows up on last year’s inaugural
awards, and is the largest gathering of its kind to evaluate Chinese wines based on international standards.
This year’s competition has garnered nearly 200 of China’s top wineries, receiving over 900 varieties of wine, while the judging panel comprises 27 leading authorities on wine, according to the statement. Moreover, there will be 38 awards to be presented, an increase from last year’s 24 awards.
Among the awards to be presented are the “Wynn Signature Best Wine of China Trophy”, along with two new award categories: “Wynn Sommelier’s Choice”, chosen by a team of sommeliers from the IR’s six award-winning restaurants, and “Best Young Winemaker”, which recognises new and young winemakers under 40, the statement said.
The statement added that among the highlights of this year’s judging panel are returning panellists, revered wine educator and the mainland’s first resident Master of Wine Fongyee Walker MW*, who is again this year’s vice chair; first Chinese national Master of Wine Gus Zhu MW; and China’s newest and youngest Master of Wine Xing Wei MW.
The winning wines are set to be unveiled during an award ceremony scheduled for April 11, the statement said.
The six-day event will also feature a highlight of activities throughout its run, including four seminars conducted by judges, three afternoon masterclass sessions, and wine dinners.
