The Audience Choice Award was awarded to the White Red Stone Muscat, but the demonstration was also attended by no less famous types: table, dessert and strong wines.

The event was commented on by the famous Cypriot sommelier Petr Brazhnikov:

“When I first moved to Cyprus, I tried for a long time to find new hobbies. Walking through the vastness of a city that was completely new to me, I discovered wine, or rather the place of its production.

Later, I became interested in the culture of winemaking, in fact, this served to develop my hobby in a more professional field.

I signed up for sommelier courses and studied with sophisticated critics. I was taught to determine the type of wine and the peculiarities of its production, to distinguish in which barrels it was infused and from which grape variety it was made. I could even determine the year of issue and the country. After that, each sip of wine became a special ritual, I tasted it with sweet interest and passion. Being a professional in this field today, I can say that White Redstone Muscat and White Muscat increase the level of their quality, but they still have a lot to strive for.”
