When the World Raises its Glass: The Weight of the IWSC
Since its inception in 1969, the IWSC (International Wine & Spirit Competition) has been the world’s most respected wine competition, known as the “Oscars” of the wine world. Professional judges from around the world rigorously judge wines through blind tastings, awarding gold, silver, and bronze medals to the most outstanding entries. Winning this prestigious award means a wine not only receives recognition locally but also shines on the global stage.
Taiwan’s local culture creates world-class wines
This year, Shr Ba Niang Biotechnology Co., Ltd. presents six of its products on the international stage. These creations are more than just wines; they are the crystallization of the land and culture. Behind each bottle of wine is the fragrance of the tea garden, the sweet and sour taste of the fruit, and the dedication and care of the brewer.
3 gold and 3 silver medals: a moment of glory
This effort was ultimately recognized worldwide. Shiba Niang won three gold medals and three silver medals with six entries:
🏅 Gold Medal
Dongding Oolong Tea Plum Wine
Whiskey Plum Wine
Peach Ice Brew
🥈 Silver Medal
Tzen Tea Plum Wine
Honey-flavored red oolong tea plum wine
Oriental Beauty Tea Plum Wine
This is not just a number, but also a glorious moment for Taiwan.
Judges’ Heart-Warming Moments
Dongding Oolong Tea Plum Wine: The tea flavor is elegant, the plum aroma is sweet and sour, and the aftertaste is long, just like a deep breath of Taiwan’s mountains.
Whisky Plum Wine: The rich malt and the sweet and sour plums interweave to present an innovative dialogue between the East and the West.
Peach Ice Brew: The fruity aroma is sealed at low temperature, like a dewdrop in the summer morning, fresh and delicate.
Tzen tea, honey-scented red oolong, and Oriental Beauty tea plum wine bring the diverse flavors of Taiwanese tea to the international stage, allowing judges to savor the depth and uniqueness of tea culture in their cups.
These works touch people’s hearts not only because of their outstanding flavor, but also because they represent the stories of Taiwan’s land and culture.
Beyond the medal, there is a greater meaning.
For Shr Ba Niang, this award is both an honor and a responsibility. It symbolizes a breakthrough in Taiwanese wine culture, allowing the world to see the infinite possibilities of tea and fruit wine. This honor belongs to the brand and to all those who support Taiwanese terroir.
From Taiwan, to the world.
At the 2025 IWSC, Shr Ba Niang wrote a new chapter on the international stage with three gold and three silver medals. Going forward, we will continue to innovate and persevere, creating more moving wines.
Because we believe—when we brew with sincerity, the world will hear.
