30th CATAD’OR WORLD WINE AWARDS

Catad’Or World Wine Awards is the most important international wine competition in Latin America. Celebrating 30 years of excellence in 2025, this prestigious event has been held since 1995 in Chile, the world’s fourth-largest wine exporter.

It is the only competition in Latin America with the dual endorsement of the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) and VINOFED, the World Federation of Major International Wine and Spirits Competitions, where it has the honor of being a board member.

In its 2025 edition, Catad’Or World Wine Awards will evaluate and reward still, sparkling, and de alcoholized wines (a new category) from around the world.Japanese sake, cider, and other fermented beverages will also be evaluated and rewarded in the 'Other Fermented Beverages' category.

Additionally, 2025 will mark the fifth edition of the Catad’Or World Spirits Awards, dedicated to recognizing excellence in spirits.
