The 2026 Wine Merchant Top 100: Celebrating our winners

We’re thrilled to share that 36 of our wines have been recognised in this year’s Wine Merchant Top 100 – the only competition judged solely by independent wine retailers and dedicated to wines in the independent sector.

29 were highly commended, 7 secured a coveted spot on the prestigious Top 100 list and of these, one even took home a special trophy.

These results reflect the strength and diversity of our portfolio, spanning classic regions and emerging producers, and offering exceptional value across all price points.

"We're always delighted to see our wines featured in the WM Top 100, but this year feels extra special with almost half of our Italian entries recognised! It underlines the quality of the producers we work with, and what today's consumers are looking for. Seeing the Mora & Memo awarded top rosé is a particular highlight. Awards reflect the trust we place in our growers, and the quality they deliver year after year. It means a lot to see that recognised."
