Global Winners of 2024

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. These wine lists are 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 to recognise and celebrate the world’s very best wine lists.

The winners of the regions 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 of each category have competed for the Global Category title, that were announced on September 16, 2024, at the awards ceremony at London’s Glaziers Hall.
