In partnership with the Vineyard & Winery Show, WineGB has launched the Golden 50 Wines List to showcase the wines that have won gold medals in 2024 across 10 national and international competitions.
The wines selected for the Golden 50 Wine List were chosen from over 100 gold medals awarded in 2024 across the following leading competitions including the WineGB Awards, the Welsh Wine Awards, Decanter World Wine Awards, International Wine Challenge (IWC), International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC), The Champagne and Sparkling Wine World Championships, Global Masters, Sommelier Wine Awards, London Wine Competition and the Sommeliers Choice Awards.
The final selection was launched and available to taste at the Vineyard & Winery Show in a dedicated wine hub. Attendees were able to taste through a selection of 33 sparkling wines and 17 still wines made by vineyards located throughout England and Wales, from Cornwall to North Yorkshire.
Commenting on the Golden 50 Wines List, WineGB CEO Nicola Bates said: “Our wines have been winning gold medals in international competitions for several decades. It has been over 40 years since an international trophy was first awarded to a GB wine. We had an excess of choices for the Golden 50 Wines, with wines winning over 100 gold medals in both national and international competitions this year in contention. The breadth of choice is testament to the quality of our wines that are made by talented winemakers across the UK.”
