Dong-A Ilbo and Channel A co-hosted the event.<\/p>\n<p> The winning bottles, Junette Sweet and Junette Dry, are 750 mL (25.4 fl oz) red wines with 12% ABV. They\u2019re made by blending Campbell Early grapes with sanmeoru, a Korean wild mountain grape, all grown in Yeongju\u2019s Dansan area.<\/p>\n<p> Judges highlighted the wines\u2019 fresh, bright profiles. The grapes, nurtured on the slopes of the Sobaeksan Mountains where daytime-to-nighttime temperature swings are significant, develop high sugar levels and rich aromas that give the wines a lively, crisp character.<\/p>\n<p> Junette Winery has been developing a variety of wines using local agricultural products and supporting the revival of the traditional liquor industry. This recognition is expected to strengthen the winery\u2019s product competitiveness and raise its brand profile.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cIt\u2019s meaningful that a wine made from local produce has proven competitive,\u201d said CEO Kim Hyang-sun. \u201cWe\u2019ll keep working to grow the winery alongside our community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Kang Mae-young, head of Yeongju City\u2019s Distribution Support Division, called the award \u201can example of how high-value industries using local agricultural products can expand,\u201d and pledged active support to help the traditional liquor industry develop into a key sector of the regional economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yeongju City winery &#8216;Junette Winery&#8217; won awards for its red wines at the 2026 K-Food
