The above wine competitions are unique and highly significant because (1) all tasting was done blind and (2) the results were listed in rank order from highest to lowest. There were no multiple winners except in the case of multiple categories (for example one red wine winner and one white wine winner).

What's with all the spam to the wine competition pages. Shouldn't a list be just a list? Are the wine competition links so important that they belong next to the names of each estate on the list? There are numerous facts that would be more significant to add along side the list if this is to be anything other than an index of links to wine estates on wikipedia. - Mikecase00 2006-05-22
