Each year, the IWC Industry Awards recognises the incredible achievements of the inspirational people behind the UK’s most innovative wine retailing businesses.

The International Wine Challenge (IWC) is celebrated worldwide for its rigorous and transparent judging process that ensures only the finest wines are awarded.

The IWC UK Industry Awards were launched in 1991 to recognise and reward the outstanding achievements of the UK wine trade and the same level of integrity of judging is applied to these awards. Not only do they reward the work of merchants, educators, distributors and agents, all those who contribute to bringing the joy of wine to the UK consumer, but they also generate promotional and business opportunities for the winners.

In addition to the UK Industry Awards, we will also be awarding the best performing wines and sakes from the 2025 International Wine Challenge.

The 2025 IWC Awards Dinner has gone back to its “home” timing of September with a formal black tie sit down dinner in the prestigious Guildhall to properly celebrate the finest wines from around the world and the best of the UK trade.
