Homemade Wine Contest

The Crawford County Fair will be hosting a Homemade Wine Contest at the 2011 Fair! The Contest will be held in the Whistle Stop Saloon at 6:00 pm on Thursday, July 21st. The contest is open to amateur winemakers and will have four divisions—Grape Wines, Fruit Wines, Berry Wines and Other Wines. Each division will feature three classes- dry, sweet and semi-sweet.
All entries must be submitted in transparent bottles, free of any identification of wine maker. Wines must be two years old or less. Entrants must stay to check their entries in. Entrants must state whether entries should be judged chilled or at room temperature. Chilled entries must be chilled when they arrive. Entries should be at the Whistle Stop Saloon at 5:45 pm. The general public will be invited for wine tasting as soon as judging is completed. Entrants are welcome to stay during judging. The top three wines in each class will receive ribbons.  
The Whistle Stop Saloon will be serving your traditional beer selections along with a great selection of Wisconsin-brewed beers on tap! Commemorative glasses will be available for purchase and can be filled with selections of your favorite wines!

  1. Can a person enter as many classes that they want and is there a limit on the amount of bottles a person can enter?
