International Cider Challenge
International Cider Challenge 2012 entries open
OLN has launched the International Cider Challenge 2012.
The competition is designed to recognise the diversity and range of packaged products in the dynamic and growing cider category.
The ciders will be blind-tasted by an expert panel of judges and assessed according to taste, appearance and aroma. Medals and trophies will be awarded to the best ciders and the results will be published in May 2012.
OLN Editor Rosie Davenport said: "The International Cider Challenge is the biggest and most prestigous of all cider competitions and winning can really make a difference to producers' sales, as well as the retailers stocking them."
Last year trophies went to Cidre Artisanal Le Brun from France, and Neige Recolte d'Hiver ice cider from Canada, while gold medal winners included Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Vintage 2010, Cidre Le Brun Dry and Aspall Organic Suffolk cider which won a design and packaging award.
Entries have now closed for 2012.
