We’re not quite sure how it will be judged (length? precision? beauty? originalty?…) but at the annual Salon des Vignerons Indépendants in Paris (a huge event with 1000 exhibitors) they will have a spitting competition whose winner will get the “Grand Prix du Cracheur d’Or”. (The competition is actually a devious way to make visitors understand the importance of spitting when tasting!). The Salon will take place at Porte de Versailles in Paris on November 22-26 and the competition is on November 23 at 16.00. vigneron-independant.com
