The World of Fine Wine is proud to announce the winners of the World’s Best Wine Lists 2022 Regional Category Awards.
The winners were chosen as the best establishments in 18 categories in each of six regions: Asia, Australasia, Europe, Middle East and Africa, North America, and South & Central America and the Caribbean.
The regional winners in each category will now go on to compete for the Global Category Awards, which will be announced on September 12, 2022, at an awards ceremony at London’s Glaziers Hall.
“We are very proud of this year’s selection of regional winners, which is a who’s who of the world’s best restaurant, bar, and hotel wine lists—a genuinely global distribution of exciting places to find fine wine,” said the chairman of the World’s Best Wine Lists awards and editor of The World of Fine Wine, Neil Beckett.
“The judging panel is greatly looking forward to the difficult but rewarding task of selecting our global winners from these very competitive shortlists.”
The World’s Best Wine Lists is a global awards program created in 2014 by the multi-award-winning publication The World of Fine Wine.
Judged according to a rigorous protocol by independent, international panels of leading professionals, including World Champion Sommeliers, Master Sommeliers, Masters of Wine, and highly respected wine writers, it is the first awards program to acknowledge the crucial importance of a good wine selection—regardless of size—in the modern dining experience all round the world.
