PIWI International Wine Challenge 2022

The constantly growing number of winemakers, which are growing the resistant grape varieties and the huge assortment of wines inspired us to organize a new one PIWI International WINE Challenge.
Currently, we are in the process of reorganizing our association together with the regional groups and we want to create a wine competition that is based on the OIV rules with the aim of implementing these rules in all future competitions across all membership regions.

The first PIWI International Wine Challenge will be organized this year by bonvinitas.
