Since its introduction in 2000, the San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC) has become one of the most respected and influential spirits competitions in the world. It was founded by The Tasting Alliance as a way to recognize exceptional products in the spirits industry. Emphasizing integrity and impartiality, this prestigious competition takes great pride in ensuring that all entries are treated with equal care and consideration by The Tasting Alliance's panels of carefully selected spirits-industry judges.
The 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition was held at the Hotel Nikko, San Francisco from March 13th through March 15th. This year was the 20th San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and was the biggest in its history, featuring almost 3,000 entries from all corners of the world.
With two decades of experience, the SFWSC is one of the world’s most respected spirits competitions due in large part to their esteemed judges.
