Introduction<br />
Welcome to the International Wine<br />
Challenge dinner. I think that it is fair to<br />
say that a lot has changed over the last<br />
25 years since the IWC was launched, or<br />
there again some may say not a lot has<br />
changed in the world. In 1983 Joshua<br />
Nkomo fled Zimbabwe due to pressure<br />
from Robert Mgarbe, Ronald Regan<br />
described Russia as an evil empire. There<br />
were elections in the UK where the now<br />
Lady Thatcher swept to power and the<br />
out going Labour party lost their deposit<br />
in over 100 seats! Bob Hawke was<br />
elected in Australia. But then Chile started<br />
to emerge from a serious economic crisis<br />
in which the unemployment rate has<br />
exceeded 20 percent and the inflation rate<br />
30 percent! Costco was founded and the<br />
mobile phone was seen for the first time<br />
in the US. On a more light hearted note Roland Rat introduced Breakfast<br />
TV and the phrase “I have a cunning plan my lord” was first heard as Black<br />
Adder started on TV, and while Michael Cane was Educating Rita Men at<br />
Work were at number one!While all of this was going on there were a couple<br />
of guys sitting in a room trying to create a good story about English wine.<br />
So they put some of the best wines they could find in the UK against some<br />
of the shall we say least good wines from Europe. The results were some<br />
English wines did rather well and the article was published under the name<br />
of The International Wine Challenge. However, many international producers<br />
were of course not represented so due to public demand they were included<br />
and the rest is history.<br />
Things have definitely changed since then. As you are all aware the judging<br />
process has been completely overhauled and we now have a process that<br />
sets the bar for all competitions. This is of course only possible thanks to our<br />
four talented chairmen, Tim Atkin MW, Sam Harrop MW, Charles Metcalfe<br />
and Derek Smedley MW. They are the ones that pull together the panel<br />
chairs, the senior judges and the judges of which a huge proportion are here<br />
tonight.<br />
The other major thing that has changed with the IWC is the impact that it<br />
has. For us on the team who have the privilege of running this great event we<br />
have one very clear objective and that is to “help producers from all over the<br />
world sell more wine all over the world”. The judging is one element of this<br />
process and it generates the list that is so sort after by wine journalists all<br />
over the world. Yes I can say world, we get entries from some 40 countries<br />
and receive editorial coverage from all of them and more. I have the cuttings<br />
in my office to prove it! This includes television, radio, print and of course<br />
the internet. This huge profile is only possible due to the highest level of<br />
integrity and media neutrality. What then follows is independent third party<br />
endorsements.<br />
The things that are new this year, which I referred to last year when I said<br />
watch this space, are the inclusion in a BBC documentary on wine which is<br />
due to be shown in the spring next year, yes that is what they were filming<br />
at the judging this year. We have also been on TV as far away as Japan and<br />
Australia and all stations between. Back at home we have 3 spreads planned<br />
in You magazine this year, we are working with the Guardian and Observer<br />
group and we have also been in negotiation with the house wife’s favourite<br />
Alan Titchmarch to be included in his TV programme. We will continue to<br />
invest in this area and are constantly generating new ideas for angles to<br />
generate stories to carry the IWC brand to as many people as possible. The<br />
latest is The Library Collection tasting which is for wines that are 5 and 10<br />
years of age. This will help wine consumers understand the value of wine<br />
from a quality point and to encourage them to trade up.<br />
I make no apology for my passion about this great Challenge. I am proud<br />
to be part of the team that runs it and I thank you for your support. We will<br />
continue to do our upper most on your behalf.<br />
