| Wine Categories
Wine Categories -reflecting the steadily increasing number
of entries, the Japan Wine Challenge Management will continue to create
new categories in addition to those shown wherever the number of entries
from a country or region exceeds in 15 wines.
If the Japan Wine Challenge Management decides that a
wine would be better served by being in a different category, Japan
Wine Challenge has the right to later the category.
