Wine competition

Sommelier Lee Jung-hoon sniffs Australian wine to examine its quality during the final contest of the Korea Wine Challenge 2015, an international wine competition, in the Korean Wine Challenge office in Jongno, downtown Seoul, Wednesday. The 11th annual event, sponsored by the monthly magazine Wine Review, was held from June 8 to 17 to select the best wine. Among 705 entries from 20 countries, six wines were selected as winners in each category — sparkling, white, red, rose, fortified, sweet — by five judges including Lee. Maycas del Limari Quebrada Seca of Spain was chosen as the trophy red wine. / Korea Times photo by Choi Won-suk
