Judgment of Singapore to Celebrate Wine's Global Evolution in October
Fifty years after the historic Judgment of Paris tasting revolutionized global wine perceptions, Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) will host a new international blind tasting called the Judgement of Singapore. Scheduled for 2–4 October 2026 as part of Singapore Wine Week 2026, this event aims to explore how winemaking styles have evolved over five decades and whether wine origin remains identifiable when labels are hidden. The double-blind tasting will feature a panel of 15 judges from ten countries, including Masters of Wine (MW) and Master Sommeliers (MS), who will evaluate 24 Chardonnays and Cabernet Sauvignons primarily from the 2019 vintage. The wines come from leading producers in Europe, America, and Australia. Unlike the original Judgment of Paris tasting, this event is not a direct recreation but rather an exploration of modern wine culture. The Judgement of Singapore reflects growing global interest in wine appreciation beyond traditional European boundaries. It also highlights Singapore's role as a hub for international wine professionals and consumers.
