The 2026 edition of Decanter World Wine Awards has brought a new series of international recognitions for AVINCIS wines. Judged by one of the most demanding panels in the wine world, the competition gathers thousands of entries from across the world each year and is widely regarded as a benchmark for both consumers and industry professionals.

These results highlight both the distinctive character of Romania’s native grape varieties and their ability to stand out in a highly competitive international environment. The Gold Medal awarded to Negru de Drăgășani 2021 is particularly significant, recognizing the potential of one of Romania’s most representative indigenous varieties.

The four Silver Medals further illustrate the diversity of the AVINCIS portfolio - from the freshness and distinctive character of Crâmpoșie Selecționată, to the complexity of the Grandiflora blend and the elegance of the sparkling wine crafted using the traditional method.
