Dear Exhibitor, BTS Informa and Comexposium, organizers of ExpoVinis Brasil, are pleased to invite you to take part in “Top Ten 2014”, the most important wine competition in the Americas. “Top Ten” recognises the quality of the wines produced all over the world and offers to those that take part in the competition the opportunity of having their wine recognized by famous experts. This recognition adds value, generates spontaneous media coverage and, as a consequence, generates business. ExpoVinis Brasil’s Top Ten is coordinated by wine specialists, Jorge Lucki and José Ivan Santos. Top Ten 2014’s jury will be composed of the following members:

1. Jorge Carrara (Prazeres da Mesa magazine and Basilico website) 2. José Maria Santana (Gosto magazine) 3. José Luiz Borges Alvin (ABS – SP) 4. Ricardo Farias (ABS – Rio) 5. Marcio Oliveira (SBAV-MG and Vinoticias) 6. José Luiz Pagliari (SBAV – SP and Senac-SP) 7. Manoel Beato (Head sommelier at Fasano Restaurant) 8. Celito Guerra (Embrapa – RS) 9. Roberto Gerosa (Vinho blog) 10. Gustavo Andrade de Paulo (ABS – SP).

International guests are yet to be confirmed. ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE TOP TEN The results of Top Ten will be announced on April 22ND, 2014 (ExpoVinis Brasil opening day). NB: This year there will be two winners in each category (first & second prize), instead of only one in the previous editions.

TOP TEN 2014 – RULES AND METHODOLOGY

Top Ten 2014 is exclusively reserved to ExpoVinis Brasil 2014 exhibitors

Registration will be available online from January, 06 , 2014 until March 7th, 2014

Each exhibitor will be able to submit 2 of its labels.

The samples sent by the participants must fit the following categories, which have been defined according to the

Brazilian market.

1. Brazilian Sparkling Wine 2. Imported Sparkling Wine 3. Brazilian White Wine 4. Imported White Wine 5. Rosé Wine 6. Brazilian Red Wine 7. New World Red Wine 8. Old World Red Wine (I) * 9. Old World Red Wine (II) ** 10. Fortified and Sweet Wine

*: Includes wines from the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal)

**: Incudes wines from Italy, France and other old world countries

Members of the jury will be divided into 2 groups (6 people each) and all samples will first be individually and blindly

tasted. Instead of defining the arithmetic average and handing in their notes, the tasters, coordinated by the table’s

president, will then discuss the criteria adopted by each one, thereby eliminating any possible flaws in interpretation

and allowing a fair result by consensus.

In the first phase the samples received in each category will be divided between the 2 tables and the 3 best wines will

be selected. The 6 best wines will then be tasted again on the following day by all jury members, to select the winner.

Tastings will start on Friday (April 11TH, 2014) at 9 a.m., will continue on Saturday (April 12TH, 2014) and, if needed, on

Sunday (April 13TH, 2014).

In order to take part in “Top Ten 2014” exhibitors must submit 2 sample bottles of each wine enrolled. If exhibitors

send fewer than the necessary number of bottles, they will be automatically disqualified.

Each wine must be accompanied by a technical sheet that includes the following information. (These are necessary in

order to be able to disclose the wines better during the Premium Tastings and on the ExpoVinis Brasil website).

- Wine name

- Vintage

- Color

- Region

- Denomination

- Caste(grapes)

- Alcoholic Strength

- Category

Sign up through the website.

After filling the form, please send the generated report with the two samples by mail.

Top Ten winners must make at least 5 bottles available. These will be used in the Premium Tastings during ExpoVinis

Brasil.

In addition, five bottles of the Top Ten 1st and 2nd best wines chosen in the categories Red Wines (Brazilian, New

World, I Old World and II Old Word) must be available, for they will take part in another Premium Tasting during

ExpoVinis Brasil. As the winners will not be announced before ExpoVinis, it is very important that each participant

includes these additional bottles in his initial shipment for the ExpoVinis Brasil.

The deadline for the Top Ten entries will be March 7, 2014

The deadline for the “Top Ten” bottles to arrive at BTS Informa Brazil is the 4TH of April, 2014.

As the date for submission is from 04/04/2014 , we kindly request that shipments must arrive in the country at least

25 days prior delivery date for air shipments, and 35 days prior delivery date for sea shipment.

In case of Air Shipments, the original set of documents (Invoice/ packing List, Certificate of origin, Certificated of
