"young wine writer of the year" news and stories

The Circle of Wine Writers - of which I am a member -  has released details of the Young Wine Writer Award 2006 in conjunction with Websters International Publishers.

The winner receives £1000 in prize money and a 4-day, expenses-paid trip to the wine regions of Australia, with opportunities to meet the growers and taste plenty of wine too I guess. 

The competition is open to anyone under the age of 31 by the end of 2006. Applicants should not have had a wine book published nor be an established wine columnist. 
They are looking for wine-writing potential, more than extensive knowledge or experience. You will also get the chance to write articles about the trip for the Wine Australia website
