Enter winelist
2006-07-20
ENTRIES for the 2006 Diners Club International Winelist of the Year Awards are officially open and all licensed restaurants across South Africa are invited to take part in these prestigious Awards.
The Awards, which are aimed at encouraging food and wine-serving establishments to consistently improve the standards of wine lists on offer, have always been held in high esteem by both the restaurant and wine industry.
Through their submission, entrants will be considered for a Gold Award, Platinum Award and the cream of the crop will earn “The Award of Excellence”.
The judging criteria include the prices of wines on offer - from entry to top level wines; whether the wines on offer are in harmony with the style of food served; that a good balance and range of grape varietals between white, red, rosé, blends and desert wines are present; that wines from a variety of districts are represented and details concerning the establishment’s corkage policies as stated on their wine list.
The design and layout of the actual wine list is also an important criterion and judges will be looking at the legibility of the wine list in low restaurant lighting, whether it is comfortable to handle, easy to page through and whether it is clean and hygienic.
Further information is obtainable by contacting convener Michael Olivier on winelistawards @dinersclub.co.za or 082-532-8320.
