About México Selection by CMB

The international character of its tasting panel provides the México Selection by CMB, presented by Audi, the highest guarantees of professionalism, independence and integrity, serving as a seal of excellence for the competition’s results.

Held from November 17th to 21st, 2025 in the State of Chihuahua, the México Selection by CMB aims to highlight the characteristics of high-quality Mexican wines, spirits and beer by region of origin, both within Mexico and worldwide, while promoting healthy competition to raise quality standards from their own appellations of origin.

Tasting judges —recognized for their experience and international expertise— will evaluate the samples strictly blind, following the rules established by the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles.

More than a Blind Tasting

The México Selection by CMB, presented by Audi, is much more than a blind tasting. Its main purpose is to foster dialogue and create a meeting point for the key players of Mexico’s wine, spirits and beer industries; to establish a reliable quality seal for consumers; to provide producers with a promotional tool recognized by the industry and the general public; and to promote both the host region and the competition’s local partners.

All participating products undergo a rigorous tasting methodology, where absolute anonymity is a fundamental principle. Tastings are conducted strictly blind, and judges never see the sample bottles before or during evaluation. This ensures that products are judged solely on their quality, awarding medals to the best entries regardless of origin, price, bottle or label.

Each year, the México Selection by CMB, presented by Audi, guarantees diversity within its panel of judges, always striving to include a multidisciplinary team composed of expert tasters, journalists, winemakers, sommeliers, buyers, distillers, brewers and media representatives involved in the world of wine, spirits and beer worldwide.

These elements, combined with a rigorous control system that verifies all documentation for each registered product, ensure the total independence of the results. The México Selection by CMB, presented by Audi, also strictly respects its policy of awarding a maximum of 30% of medals among participating products.
