Global Winners of 2025

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 stars of global hospitality gathered at London’s iconic Savoy Hotel for the World’s Best Wine Lists Awards 2025.
With winners spanning five continents, the awards underscored the truly global artistry of exceptional wine curation.
