Left Bank Bordeaux Cup

Left Bank Bordeaux Cup (LBBC) (formerly ’20 vin Sur’ before 2012) used to be a wine competition among wine clubs at leading Paris higher education institutions. Since 2012, the competition has opened up for students outside France to participate. Students from prestigious French schools, as well as Oxford and Cambridge, and other elite business schools in North America and Asia have taken part in the competition. Nowadays, there are two rounds of competitions in Asia: one being held in Hong Kong, another in Shanghai. The champion in each of these rounds is then qualified for the final held every year in June.
