The criteria for judging the entries not only involve having an appreciation for wine, but also include a knowledge and expertise of wines from the Ontario region. Included amongst the winning categories; Ontario Red and White Wines of the Year, Ontario Winemaker of the Year, and the Ontario Journalism Award, which recognizes the best article published in 2011 on the Ontario wine industry.
