Good point Gary. If you were to quote examples they could be allegations that would attract legal censure but do you have a particular show/wine/trophy in mind?
On the other hand, there is a panel of judges for wines show awards as I understand them to be constituted, with a chairperson with as final arbiter. Obvious self-promotion would be bound to create dissension.
Perhaps you could elaborate, diplomatically, without naming wines or judges?
I'm not saying there is no corruption in the wine show system but am curious as to your conception of the degree to which there is.
Cheers
