Please note that the new form of the publication includes the English text as well, so, unlike earlier, this time there is no separated book for the English descriptions. Furthermore, the previous evaluation system of 3-4-5 stars changed too.

Now the wines are enlisted in two categories: Excellent Wines (the previous 3- and 4-star categories together) and the Top Excellent Wines (the former 5-star category). This year 274 entries were submitted to win the Red Excellent Wine title, 137 of them were named Excellent, while 8 won the Top Excellent title.
