WineGB Awards 2025
Entry for the 2025 WineGB Awards is now open
With the new, super-speedy, one-form entry system, and early-bird pricing held at the same levels as 2024, you’ll probably want to cut to the chase:
But if you need a little more persuasion, here’s why you should enter 2025’s awards:
The annual WineGB Awards in association with Rankin is the country’s most prestigious specialist competition, dedicated solely to English and Welsh wines.
But there’s nothing parochial about the WineGB Awards. The judging process is vigorous and expert. Via the Golden 50, WineGB winners are showcased alongside their peers from the biggest international competitions.
Entering the Awards is a low-cost, high-value way to ramp up credibility with both UK and international trade and consumer buyers, benchmark your wines against their peers, and, most importantly, build sales.
With a new simplified entry system, and the chance for any producer entering two or more wines to win the coveted Producer of the Year Trophy, you should take advantage of early-bird pricing to enter now.
