WORLD WINE CHAMPIONSHIPS®

Brought to you by the creators of the first international wine competition in the US. The most rigorous, trusted wine review there is.

100,000 REVIEWS AND COUNTING.

Since 1981, our reviews have put countless brands on the map, let's do the same for yours.

We've helped huge brands like Barefoot, Kendall Jackson, and Saracco, as well as boutique producers like Villadoria, Grgich Hills, Domaine Carneros, and Monte d'Oro, we broadcast the flavor and quality that set your brand apart. To this day BevTest is the fairest, most consistent professional review source out there. We wouldn't be regarded as such by brands like this if we weren't.

"If a winery needs an appropriate rating before I can buy it, I send them your way."

- David Chesterfield

"We appreciate so much your prompt and professional service. We make a practice of publishing your tasting results for all of our wines, and always mention your independent organization."

- William Jarvis

"BevTest is still the outstanding tasting organization, uniquely independent. Keep up the good work!"

- Bob Betz

"We appreciate your fairness and integrity."

- Ed Sbragia

"I admire the thoroughness of your reviews, which I am absolutely certain must be enormously useful to your readers."

- Michael Broadbent

- Dustin Stabile, Owner

- Joan Dillon

Our winery has had Tastings rate our wines for a number of years." We use the bottle stickers and shelf talkers for both education and to enhance our marketing." We have had distributors request bottle stickers, and during wine pourings, we use the shelf talkers as a customer take away. " We appreciate the information written by Tastings since we find it to be concise, descriptive, informational, and a well rounded review of our wines."

- Janet Soderberg

“BevTest’s award helped with our US importer or US distributor sales We opened two new accounts in Seattle and New York. 0-250 cases in one month.

- Eduardo Aguirre

“I’ve long trusted the Beverage Testing Institute's reviews and will be submitting more wines to you in the coming year.”

- Matthew P. Healy Director, Sales & Marketing

“Our partnership with Beverage Testing Institute has taken this competition [The New Jersey Governor’s Cup] to the next level.”

- Tom Cosentino, Executive Director

“I can add a personal endorsement based on decades of experience with BevTest when I ran the New York Wine & Grape Foundation...with good results. Because New York has a broad diversity of grape varieties—Native American, French hybrids, Cornell creations, Minnesota varietals, and Vinifera—it was important that the judges were "open-palated" and not "viticultural racists", but gave every wine the fair chance it deserved. BevTest met that test.”

- Jim Trezise

“I really think that these reviews are generally helpful and I love the quick turn around. I have been doing this a long time now and I can say that your reviews are not give aways and therefore deserve more credit from the trade.”

- C. Kirk Ermisch

"BevTest built the Kendall-Jackson brand."

- Chris Jackson

“The experience working with BevTest was wonderful.”

- John McGregor
