Lyon is recognised as the capital of gastronomy and good taste, and so it was only natural that the city should be a showcase for the best products in the world. 

Every year, the Concours International de Lyon organises the tasting of almost 10,400 samples of wines, beers and spirits from all over the world. 

The competition follows strict rules concerning its organisation, blind tasting, verification of the tasters selected, a 100-point marking scale. 

This diversity means consumers are offered a very wide range of products that have been tasted and awarded medals by the Concours International de Lyon, to guide them in their selection of wine, beer and spirits.
