Czech National Spirits Competition - CNSC) 2025 has opened entries for its fifth edition, the country's first, largest and most prestigious competition that recognizes the best spirits and liqueurs of the year.
Conceived as an independent platform, CNSC celebrates quality spirits and liqueurs as both a noble craft and a strong brand presence in global markets. Its main goal is to professionally evaluate original products from top producers, connect Czech producers with key players in the market, cultivate the perception of spirits and liqueurs as a cultural and commercial phenomenon and open the door to export growth.
Under the slogan "Every drop has a story", the competition highlights how even small producers can become major players if they combine quality products with a clear vision and strong international partnerships. The gala evening will bring together representatives from e-tailers and distributors looking for new brands, hotel, bar and restaurant leaders, members of international chambers of commerce and partners from the gastronomy, export and media sectors, creating valuable networking opportunities beyond the tasting tables.
This year's edition also benefits from the strategic cooperation with Media Club, the largest media group in the Czech Republic. Media Club operates eight TV channels, 12 radio stations and more than 300 online and print titles, giving participants and winners unprecedented promotional reach.
The event continues to attract international participants, with samples expected from the USA, UK, China, India, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ireland, Poland, Scandinavia, Slovakia, Hungary and the Balkans. Newly appointed ambassadors in India, China, Slovakia and other key markets are tasked with further strengthening export opportunities for Czech winners.
