Organized by the award-winning publication The World of Fine Wine, The World’s Best Wine Lists Awards, established in 2014, are now celebrating their thirteenth year. These awards represent the most prestigious and rigorous global wine list recognition program.
Entries are judged independently by an internationally respected panel that includes Masters of Wine, a Master Sommelier, and a World Champion Sommelier, ensuring exceptional standards and credibility throughout the process.
After the resounding success of the 2025 walkaround tasting and gala dinner, we’re delighted to confirm the event will return in 2026 in the same exclusive format at The Savoy, London.
Open to both entrants and readers of The World of Fine Wine, the ceremony is a not-to-be-missed night featuring some of the biggest names in the industry. Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy outstanding wines from across the globe while connecting with fellow enthusiasts, acclaimed restaurant leaders, and international sommeliers.
