Hey all,
I am a brewer, and have ventured only so far as to try "Apfelwien", with very good success in competitions... seeing as how I know next to nothing about the world of wine, I had a couple of questions...
1. Could "Apfelwein" be entered in wine competitions as "Dry Fruit (Other)" or some similar category? I never put the ABV higher than about 9.5%, so I didn't know if there was an understood minimum level for these types of things or anything...
2. Is there a centralized (at least for North America/USA) organization for teaching, certifying, and sanctioning wine competitions like the BJCP for beer? It seems like every competition has carte blanche to sort of define its styles and what the rules are... doesn't seem to be nearly the consistency as in the BJCP regimen.
That's all, I appreciate your input!
