Contest VINARIUM 2022 contest took place between 26-29 May 2022,in hybrid format (the heads of international commissions and jurors were present in Constanta, at the Black Sea Shore and the rest of the jurors online). 47 experienced jurors, from 12 countries, evaluated almost 1300 samples of wineall in the same conditions, with the same samples of 100 ml, bottled in conditions of maximum hygiene and food security, so as not to bring the slightest prelude to the wine registered in the contest.
The judging was experienced on the new model of the tasting sheet proposed byOIV and, for the first time at an international wine competition, some of the jurors were connected to an application that records the sensorineural activity during the wine tasting. It is a unique, original study, underway on different levels of tasting, carried out by the Wine Institute Vinarium in Romania.
