Multiple Wine Retailer and Supermarket of the Year went to Waitrose, Independent Drinks Retailer of the Year was Selfridges & Co, while Newcomer of the Year was won by Lancaster Wine Company.
The full results are listed below.
OLN editor Rosie Davenport (right) hosted the 400-attendee event wearing a dress made of cork.
She said: “Having a dress made out of cork to present this year’s Drinks Retailing Awards was the obvious choice and a real show stopper. It was also great to challenge perceptions about an everyday object like the cork closure and transform it into something so much more and a bit off the wall.”
