Box wine awards
November 25, 2011 in Uncategorized
Last week Food24 attended “South Africa’s most prestigious wine awards” … yip, you guessed it… The 2011 Box Wine Awards!
What. A. Jol! The awards were held on the rooftop of a backpackers in Loop Street and the theme (in honour of Movember) was Magnum PI. Vibe = sorted.
Anel and Jan of World Famous wine blog Spit or Swallow hosted the event and it really went down a treat. 40 different box wines were wrapped in newspaper and placed on tables and “judges” (ie: everyone who attended) were required to taste each numbered box and then rate it from 1 to 10 on twitter using their own twitter accounts. Jan then tracked the ratings and at the end of the night a red and white winner were announced.

The winners on the night were:
Nice going – and to end off the evening (after consuming ALOT of dooswyn)… much dancing around the bar with a blow-up doll. Don’t ask….
