International Cider Challenge results 2010
The results of the International Cider Challenge 2010 are in. This is the first year of the competition and it attracted over a hundred entries. Drinks International recruited a panel of cider experts to blind taste the ciders, which were then awarded trophies and medals. The overall trophy winner was Merrydown Medium Cider. Judges were Simon Russell from Inside Media, Helen Thomas from Westons Cider, David Sheppy from Sheppy?s Cider, drinks journalist Guy Thornton, cider historian James Crowden and PR consultant Deborah Collinson. Chairman of the judges and Drinks International editor Christian Davis said: ?We had cider from all over the world, including Czech Republic, US, South Africa and Canada. We were really pleased to have such a good response ? especially from an international perspective. People think cider is an English drink but the competition demonstrates that it?s truly international. ?There?s a real sense of community in the cider industry and there is a need for this sort of competition. Judges regarded competitors? products in a very positive way and I think the competition was appreciated by the cider community.? If you can try and track down some of these fine international award winning ciders!
