The Berliner Wein Trophy debuted in 2004 and has since become the largest and most important international wine tasting event in Germany under the patronage of the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) and the International Union of Oenologists (UIOE). The competition has been held for years at the BEST WESTERN Hotel am Borsigturm in Berlin-Tegel, where an international jury of experts tastes and evaluates more than 5,000 wines.
