For the third year running, the Circle of Wine Writers is to offer a 1,000 prize to a young wine writer to help him or her travel to the wine region of his or her choice. Sponsored by Websters International Publishers, the award is open to any writer under 30 who is not an established columnist or regular contributor to a magazine and who has not yet had a book published. For the 2003 award there is an additional prize of an expenses-paid trip to the wine regions of Australia, courtesy of the Australian Wine Bureau and Quantas.
