Does anyone think much of the IWSC medals?

The one problem in the north is that as far as I am aware there aren't as many tastings. But I totally agree to follow your nose and tongue.

Do research on the wines and spirits I prefer a decanter award for the wine and go on my knowledge and experience on the spirits by trying to attend tasting when u can

It seems like everything has a Gold or Silver medal these days. Is the IWSC just an advertising stamp?

Aldi and Lidl (Both of which I honestly believe have selections of quality products at a given price) have Bourbons under ?15 that are supposedly IWSC Gold winners....

Any thoughts?
