Vinkretsen presents

Winelympic Games

Sweden's most entertaining wine competition

Gather your team, challenge other wine lovers and fight for a place in the grand final.

The concept

Wine importers host online tasting events where teams compete head-to-head. The top teams from each qualifier advance to a live in-person grand final — Vinkretsen's annual flagship event.

Stage 1

Qualification rounds

  • 10–12 importers each host one online tasting over 4–6 weeks
  • Team-based gameplay using the Classic Quiz format
  • The top 2 teams per importer event qualify for the final
  • Importers get visibility and audience engagement
Stage 2

The grand final

  • Live in-person event
  • One wine per importer — around 10 wines in total
  • Blind tasting format — guess grape, region, country and style
  • Classic quiz questions between rounds
  • A final tasting moment before locking in answers
  • Responsible tasting encouraged (spitting, water, food)
