Launched in 2004 by Decanter magazine, the DWWA is respected internationally for its prestigious reputation and unrivalled global consumer influence.

“I definitely look to Decanter and the points and the medals, helping me make decisions about what to propose to my business. The fact that there are international wine judges, that it attracts such a broad, diverse range of wines – the standard is incredibly high. Decanter for us to sell wines is really important so therefore when I’m buying it’s something I really look to,” said Beth Willard buying manager, Direct Wines UK.
