Vintage Cards

IWFS Vintage Card - click here to view a sample of our Vintage Card
Members should instead view the 'For Members' pages within the Secretariat area or click here.

The Society's Annual Vintage Card is released in October each year having been thoroughly reviewed by the distinguished members of the IWFS Wines Committee, which includes several Masters of Wine. Vintage assessments are provided for key regions around the world and the Wines Committee try to ensure that regions are reviewed and assessed as to whether they are worthy for inclusion. 

Every care is taken to produce accurate ratings, but inevitably there will be exceptions. There are always some good wines made when a vintage does not warrant a high rating and some poor wines produced in the best vintages.  Running through the assessments on the 2025 Vintage Card - for 2023 vintages in the northern hemisphere the signs are good for Bordeaux whites Graves (White) and Sauternes plus across the pond in the USA - Napa and Sierra Foothills are showing  well.  For 2024 in the southern hemisphere some of the Australia regions, namely Barossa Valley, Coonawarra (Red), Hunter Valley (Semillon) and Western Australia (Red) produced some top wines along with Marlborough (Sauvignon Blanc) from New Zealand. 

As a reminder, when using our Vintage Card please note that our team of consultants are judging the better wines which are made to develop and improve. 

The 2025 Vintage Card is now available to purchase from the International Secretariat of the IWFS in London.  It is a very useful token gift for friends, family and colleagues and it is just the right size to include with a card or letter.
