The 13th Japan Wine Challenge was held from Tuesday 13th to Thursday 15th July 2010 at the Sheraton Miyako Hotel in Tokyo. With over 1,400 wines from 23 different countries, the Japan Wine Challenge is now firmly established as Asia's most prestigious wine competition.　

Under the continued Chairmanship of Steven Spurrier (Consultant Editor, Decanter Magazine) and with Co-Chair Lynne Sherriff MW (Deputy Vice Chair of the Institute of Masters of Wine), top international wine figures judged outstanding wines and got wonderful results. This year’s judges included, as in past years, top international wine figures such as Michel Bettane from France, Rowald Hepp from Germany, Jim Harre from New Zealand, Andrew Caillard MW and Alex Hudax from Australia, David Wrigley MW from UK, and Andy Dias Blue from USA.

The Awards Ceremony took place on Friday 16th July at the Grand Hyatt Tokyo, Roppongi. Her Imperial Highness Princess Takamado presented the Trophies.

The Madame Bollinger Foundation Award for Best Japanese Judge was also presented. The winner will be given a bursary to attend the Institute of Masters of Wine Seminar held in January 2011 in Melbourne Sydney.
