5 Great Gold Medals at the 1st BKWine Scandinavian Wine & Spirit Competition and record number of Wine Fair visitors

Paris, 2006-02-15

The world’s first competition for “Scandinavian” wines and spirits resulted in 5 Great Gold Medals, 9 Gold Medals and 24 Silver Medals. The competition – The 1st BKWine Scandinavian Wine & Spirit Competition – was organised in connection with the BKWine Scandinavian Wine Fair in Paris on February 11, both organised by Britt Karlsson, BKWine, in collaboration with the Cercle Suédois and Restaurant Rivoli.

The third Scandinavian Wine Fair was successfully completed with a record number of exhibitors and visitors. Some 350 visitors sniffed, slurped and sometimes drunk more than 100 different wines and spirits presented by 32 exhibitors from Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. Most of the wines and spirits were of course produced by “emigrated” Scandinavians in France and other wine making countries but there were even three exhibitors growing and making wine in Sweden.

The BKWine Scandinavian Wine and Spirit Competition

Five Great Gold Medals was awarded by the jury that consisted of sommeliers, wine writers and oenologues:

Great Gold Medals

-- Red wine

Château Lecusse 2001 Vieilli en fût, Gaillac, France, owned by the Danish couple Mogens and Pernille Jenssen.

-- Rosé wine

Chateau de Palayson Rosé 2004, Côtes de Provence, France, owned by the Swedish-American couple Christine and Allan von Eggers Rudd.

-- Dry white wine

Château Carsin l’Etiquette Grise 2002, Bordeaux, France, owned by the Finn Juha Berglund.

-- Sweet white wine

Château Carsin 2001, Cadillac, France, owned by the Finn Juha Berglund.

-- Spirits

Gute Restu Exklusiv "grappa", Gute Vingård, Gotland, Sweden, a grappa-style spirit made from grapes in Sweden by the Swede Lauri Pappinen.

Gold Medals

9 Gold Medals were awarded to wines and cognacs.

Silver Medals

24 Silver Medals were awarded to wines, cognacs and an armagnac.

The BKWine Scandinavian Wine Fair

The Scandinavian Wine Fair greeted a record number of exhibitors: 32 wine and spirit producers, all with a Scandinavian link, came and presented in person their wines and spirits.

Some 350 visitors came to the wine fair to taste the more than one hundred Scandinavian wines and spirits. The visitors were a mix of professionals, sommeliers, wine buyers, journalist and other, as well as the wine loving public. The Wine Fair was even honoured by the visits of both the Swedish ambassador, Frank Belfrage, and the Norwegian ambassador, Björn Skogmo.

Britt Karlsson, BKWine, organiser of the event, says: ”I am very satisfied with the outcome. Record number of exhibitors and record number of visitors. The wine producers say they very much like the informal way of meeting with consumers and professionals. But many also point out that it is their only occasion to meet other Scandinavians involved in wines and spirits. It was very positive to see the high quality of the wines. The wide range is impressive and perhaps confusing – wines from 2 euro to 200 euro were there to taste – but virtually all was of good quality. Which also showed in the number of medals awarded”. Britt explains about the competition: “The jury consisted of ten wine experts – sommeliers, oenologists, wine writers. All wines and spirits were of course tasted blind and if it reached a certain, pre-defined score it was awarded a medal.”

SCANDINAVIAN WINE FAIR
11 Février 2006
11h00 à 18h00
Cercle Suédois- 242 rue de Rivoli – Paris 1er

1er concours des Vins Produits par des Scandinaves dans le monde

En enregistrant 30 producteurs venus des 4 coins du monde et plus de 100 vins à faire déguster et juger par un jury international, Britt Karlson, agréablement surprise mais ravie, se réjouit d’un tel score. « Le lien scandinave fonctionne… » conclut–elle en savourant à l’avance ce rassemblement de vignerons originaires d’Europe du Nord qui se retrouveront à nouveau le 11 février dans ce lieu « cosy » qu’est le Cercle Suédois de Paris. Un millésime à ne pas manquer auquel les professionnels, la presse et tout amateur de découvertes et de nouveautés sont invités.

Derniers préparatifs avant la rencontre des membres de cette grande famille de Scandinaves dispersés à travers le monde, qui animés d’une passion égale pour le vin se retrouveront à nouveau à Paris le 11 Février prochain.

Installés pour la plupart dans des pays historiquement producteurs de vins, ces 30 acteurs de la filière vin, originaires du Danemark, de Norvège, de Suède et de Finlande présenteront leurs vins issus des terroirs de Bulgarie, d’Espagne, de Hongrie, des Etats-Unis, de différentes régions Françaises. Sans oublier les 3 vignobles implantés en Suède à découvrir.

Simultanément, ce samedi 11 février, seront proclamés les résultats du 1er Concours des Vins et Spiritueux « Scandinaves ». Une première dans le monde, l’opportunité pour ces vignerons de faire déguster et primer leurs produits par un jury d’experts internationaux. Plus d’une centaine de vins et de spiritueux ont été enregistrés à ce concours, on reconnaît là l’esprit compétitif et sportif des nordiques.

La Scandinavian Wine Fair accessible aux professionnels, à la presse et au public est également une occasion de découvrir le Cercle Suédois. Fondé en 1891, le club est le point de rencontre des suédois et scandinaves de Paris, situé dans un magnifique hôtel particulier, à proximité immédiate du Louvre et des Tuileries. Ses salons, et son restaurant sont à la disposition des membres et non membres du Cercle pour des déjeuners d’affaires, des réunions ou des manifestations privées.

Britt Karlsson, suédoise, organisatrice de la manifestation, complète son activité de journaliste spécialisée en organisant des nombreuses dégustations et des « wine-tours » à travers les vignobles français. Consulter son site http : //www. bkwine.com
