Homeo Wine Gallery said on the 6th that its imported and distributed red wine "Chris Pinot Noir" and white wine "Domaine Vincent Bouzereau Aligoté" won the grand prize at the 2026 Korea Wine & Spirits Awards.
Chris Pinot Noir won the grand prize in the red wine Old World under 30,000 won category, and Domaine Vincent Bouzereau Aligoté was selected as the grand prize winner in the white wine Old World under 30,000 won category. In particular, Homeo Wine Gallery won for the third consecutive year in the white wine Old World under 30,000 won category.
Marking its 13th year, the Korea Wine & Spirits Awards is Korea's representative liquor competition. With the goal of "discovering good domestic drinks and promoting them widely, and supporting the formation of a sound drinking culture," ChosunBiz has hosted it annually since 2014.
This year's event drew entries from 260 companies, submitting a total of 1,118 brands. It is the largest among domestic competitions covering all categories of liquor. Of these, 449 brands won the grand prize.
The award-winning Chris Pinot Noir is a red wine made using 100% grapes from hillside vineyards in Sicily, southern Italy. The high-altitude vineyard climate preserves the wine's acidity and delivers intense fruit aromas of blackberry and cherry.
Domaine Vincent Bouzereau Aligoté is a white wine made from grapes (100% Aligoté) grown in Meursault, Burgundy, France. Unlike typical Aligoté, it is produced solely from grapes cultivated in the single area of Meursault, a noted point of distinction. In particular, Domaine Vincent Bouzereau is a winery that has carried on the family business in Meursault for 10 generations and adheres to traditional methods, and its flagship wine "Meursault Blanc" was selected for Air France first class.
A Homeo Wine Gallery official said, "Taking this third consecutive Aligoté award as a momentum, we will further expand brand recognition," adding, "We plan to continue introducing reliable, high-quality wines to broaden the diversity of the domestic wine culture."
