US International Vinegar Competition

We are excited to bring our competition philosophy of trade buyers only judging to the Vinegar Industry. It is our belief that trade buyers truly know what consumers want and what they will buy at what price. Expert buyers will be blind tasting the vetted samples and will know the category, the place of orgin and the retail price.

Blind Judging

Fairness and unbiased blind judging ensures that every entry is evaluated solely on its quality, offering a level playing field for all participants.

Expert Panel

We’re the only International Competition of it’s kind where all the judges are real trade buyers who are judging by the category and actual price.
