The World of Fine Wine is proud to announce the winners of the World’s Best Wine Lists 2023 Regional Category Awards.
The winners were chosen as the best establishments in 19 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 11, 2023, at an awards ceremony at London’s Glaziers Hall.
“Every year, the task of selecting the Regional Category Award-winners gets that little bit more difficult, as the standard of competition rises,” said the chairman of the World’s Best Wine Lists awards and editor of The World of Fine Wine, Neil Beckett.
“We are delighted with the quality of the 2023 Regional Awards, and every establishment featured here can feel very proud of earning a place on the list.”
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.
