The International Wine Challenge, held in London, England, is the world’s largest annual blind tasting, with some 10,000 wines submitted each year. These wines come from all around the world, and are assessed by panels made up of three to five experienced wine professionals. It represents an ideal opportunity to gather data on the real world prevalence of such wine faults as cork taint, reduction, Brettanomyces and oxidation. For the last three years, a concerted effort has been made to gather and validate such data through a faults clinic run by Sam Harrop, Master of Wine. If a wine is judged to be faulty by a tasting panel, it is labelled and sent through to the faults clinic, where the nature of the fault is verified by sensory analysis. In this presentation we discuss some of the results from the last three years, and examine trends. We also discuss the limitations of this sort of study, which is based solely on sensory analysis.
