After a break due to the pandemic, the Sommelier Wine Awards (SWA) resumed at The Oval in London this year. This unique competition, dedicated to wines for the on trade (hospitality) industry in Britain, provides a specialised platform where the best of suppliers’ offerings can be showcased.
The event is judged by professionals within the industry. This year, it was orchestrated by Agile Media in collaboration with Imbibe, with Isa Bal MS of Trivet Restaurant, which has recently earned two Michelin stars, overseeing the event.
Judges included a diverse group from across the UK, such as Matteo Furlan from The Dorchester in London, Diana Rollan of D&D Restaurants, Joshua Castle from Noble Rot, Glen Montgomery of Eòrna in Edinburgh, Vanessa Stoltz from Pine in Newcastle and Natasha Senina of Chewton Glen.
The results, including over 800 wines, are available via the SommelierWineAwards web site. Be sure to select ‘All medals’ on the right hand side to view all wines, not just Gold winners.
