BROOMFIELD, CO, UNITED STATES, February 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The 2025 Tequila Mezcal Challenge is now accepting entries
Presented by Wine Country Network, Inc
New Competition Dates: April 26 & 27, 2025

BROOMFIELD, Colorado—Wine Country Network, publisher of Wine Country International^® Magazine and a global leader in producing professional beverage competitions for wines and spirits, has announced that it is now accepting entries for the 2025 Tequila Mezcal Challenge. The competition has over sixty categories of Tequila, Mezcal, Agave Spirits, and ready-to-drink (RTD) Premixed Cocktails.

The 7th Annual Tequila Mezcal Challenge will occur amidst the Rocky Mountains in beautiful Denver, Colorado. Christopher J. Davies, CEO and Competition Director, commented, "When we started the Tequila Mezcal Challenge, our goal was to set a higher standard for this rapidly growing category. With new brands launching nearly every week, we aim to look beyond the flashy marketing and packaging to find the best. Let's be honest; flashy marketing is not everything."

We are excited to announce that Wine Country Network and The Agave Spirits Institute (ASI) in Oaxaca formed a strategic alliance. Senior ASI founders have joined our judging panel as senior judges.

The Tequila Mezcal Challenge welcomes entries from artisanal producers (5,000 bottles or less) and commercial bottlers. The judging team comprises some of the world's most seasoned tequila and mezcal experts. They understand and respect the work that goes into the entire production process.

Packaging and design are critical components of sales and marketing in the beverage industry. The contest also conducts a packaging and design competition, juried by art directors and marketing mavens who will judge how your product design stands out in this crowded category.

All competition winners will receive a handsome physical die-cast medal, royalty-free digital medal art, actual scores (100 pts), a listing on the competition website, and promotional exposure in our globally broadcast news announcement. A follow-up feature article will be published in Wine Country International^® Magazine.

The 2025 "Best of Show" winner will receive an elegantly designed laser-engraved barrel head.
