Fermenting a successful formula in the new 2021 Edition of 5StarWines - the Book
One year ago, the world was hit by the COVID emergency. Contemporaneously, more than 60 international wine experts were preparing to fly to Verona to blind taste more than 2,000 different wines, to select only the best to be included in the "5StarWines - the Book" guide; travel restrictions prevented them from leaving their homes. Therefore, to compensate for the sudden changes, anonymized wine samples were sent directly to each judge, allowing them to assess the wines via videoconference. This unprecedented 5StarWines - the Book event was renamed the "Agile" Edition; 847 out of 2,000 wines tasted were selected and included in the 2020 5StarWines - the Book.
VERONA, Italy, March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, Italy is currently celebrating Gabriele Gorelli, the first Italian to receive the Master of Wine title. Gorelli was the General Chairman in the 2020 Agile edition of 5StarWines, together with Pedro Ballesteros Torres MW, Robert Joseph, Bernard Burtschy, Daniele Cernilli as well as Monty Waldin. Given the success of that first virtual "Agile" edition, a new edition of the event is being organized. The new dates for 5StarWines – the Book, Veronafiere's blind wine tasting, are June 16th - 18th 2021, leading up to Vinitaly.
Digital transformation is the foundation of this year's edition of 5StarWines – the Book.
