FINALISTS 2022

---

Our exceptional panels of industry-leading Judges have completed their comprehensive tastings, evaluations and feedback. The Judges have been commenting on how impressed they have been by the quality and diversity of the entries this year, with many considering them to be the highest level to date - an incredible testament to the industry and producers within it from across the globe.

Following the collation and analysis of the Judges' scores, the threshold for Finalists has been determined for each tasting category, taking into account average scores, highest and lowest scores, and the number of entries in the category. The margins have been extremely fine and a notable number of entries have been fractionally close to the threshold and deserve huge credit. Many congratulations to Finalists who are listed by category in alphabetical order below. 

Next Stage: Final tastings and verifications are now taking place to determine and confirm the Winners in each of the tasting categories, as well as collating scores to determine the geographic highest scorers and announcing the Winners of the Design & Branding category, the Environmental Sustainability category, and the Industry Choice Awards.

• Winners will be announced on Wednesday 4th May 2022.
