International Value Wine Awards
The International Value Wine Awards or IVWA was held annually each summer in Calgary, Alberta between 2006 and 2013 when Wine Access Magazine ceased publication.[1] The competition has the specific goal of determining the finest value wines in the world available to Canadians.[2] The awards were organized and operated by Wine Access Magazine; with results of the competition are released on 1 October to the competition's website,[3] and published in the magazine's October/November issue known as the Canadian Wine Annual.[4]
The IVWA selected judges from across Canada. In order for a wine to be eligible to win an IVWA it must have been available somewhere in Canada for CDN $25 or less to the public at retail during the calendar year of the award, or scheduled for release by April 1 of the following year.[5]
