The organization reserves the right to cancel or change the categories, depending on the wines entered for the competition.

The selection process is conducted by a jury consisting of Dutch wine specialists such as sommeliers, purchasing managers, importers, independent retailers, distributors, and wine writers.

They are all specialists in their field. The jury chairman is Ronald de Groot, editor-in-chief of the wine magazine Perswijn.

The final selection of the wines  will be communicated in a digital booklet.

This booklet will also be distributed with the magazine Perswijn nr. 4  (June 2021).
