More About the Competition
As the oldest international wine competition in Texas, the LSIWC provides a showcase for recognizing the quality and diversity of one of the fastest growing wine regions in the United States by promoting outstanding wines from Texas (and beyond).
Entrants earned recognition through the wine competition—which honors high-quality wines through a blind judging process that considers each entry’s appearance, aroma, body, taste, and finish—and the label design competition—which celebrates visual design fundamentals, brand strategy, and unique packaging elements.
