13 Gold, 19 Silver & 24 Bronze Medals!

We’re thrilled with the collective effort that led to our outstanding results at the recent Sommelier Wine Awards 2024.

We achieved 13 gold, 19 silver, and 24 bronze medals, an incredible 85% of our entries received a medal, highlighting the strength of our on-trade offerings across price points and wine styles.

We were further honoured with seven special awards in the Critics Choice, By the Glass and Pub & Bar categories.

As the UK’s only competition focusing entirely on wines aimed at the on-trade, it’s a strong endorsement of the quality of our buying strategy, which Miriam Spiers, our On-Trade Sales Director, described as “seeking out producers that are the best in their region, whilst adhering to the highest level of sustainability and authenticity in their production”.

Congratulations to all the winners!
