The Belgian representatives came away with nine medals, three of them gold, with the results published on Friday.

Despite its name, the Mondial de Bruxelles has been held in different countries for many years. The session devoted to white and red wines was held in May in Porêc, Croatia, and the session devoted to rosé wines in Montpellier. At these first two sessions, three and two Belgian wines won awards, respectively.
A final session will focus on sweet and “fortified” wines, such as Port. It will be held in September.
