The Sommeliers Choice Awards proudly welcomes Heather Durham-Birley, Kat Hawkins, and Greg Spalding to its 2026 judging panel — a trio of accomplished wine professionals who bring education, leadership, and service excellence to the competition.
Even if you are an experienced wine buyer, and know all the clues to look out for, seeing a Gold, Silver or Bronze medal is going to reassure you even more - seven times more as it happens.
The full two-day event will feature a dynamic exhibition trade show floor featuring producers, suppliers, distributors, and negociants from around the world.
Knowing a medal-winning wine has been given that score by a professional wine buyer based on its quality, price, value for money, and what it looks like is a lot more reassuring than just going on gut feel.
