• People’s Choice Wine Awards 2022 announces its winners

    Manchester’s Stoller Hall was the venue for the 2022 People’s Choice Wine Awards and once again the chance to see which wines entered by producers, brand owners, importers and retailers caught the attention of this event’s unique judging process that involves both everyday wine drinkers and professional wine trade judges in determining the finalists and and overall winners. These are the wines that consumers want to buy and drink. The Buyer is the official media partner for the awards and sponsor of the video category.

    mm By April 26, 2022

    The Wine Show’s Amelia Singer and Reserve Wines’ Kate Goodman were once again the host of the People’s Choice Wine Awards organised by Janet Harrison and Judy Kendrick. Scroll down below for all the finalists and the winners.

    The People’s Choice Wine Awards lives up to its billing. Of the 120 people that took part in the judging, 80 were consumers and 40 were made up from trade professionals.  So keen were some of the consumers to be involved in the event that some travelled as far as Georgia and the US to take part. To be a judge you need to show you have a strong interest in wine and over 70% of those who took part in the Round 1 judging had some level of WSET qualification.

    It is that consumer element that gives the People’s Choice Wine Awards its edge and why its founder, Janet Harrison, believes it continues to grow year after year and becomes more relevant and important for wine producer and importers to enter.

    All finalist and medalist wines will now be added to the competition’s online drinks finder in order to help consumers search for and find the direct stockist link for wines and spirits that have been featured in the awards.  This new free service has been included as part of the submission fee in order to bring consumers closer to the products that pick up awards and become finalists.

    The biggest category for entries this year was the new Drink Fairtrade award, sponsored by the Fairtrade Foundation, which demonstrates just how vibrant and competitive that category now is. The Treat Yourself White/Red in the New to Market categories, for those producers seeking representation in the UK, sponsored by Wines of Portugal, saw a 25% uplift in submissions from last year.

    Here’s this year roll call of finalists and winners.
