LWC’s Signature Wines is delighted to announce that we have been awarded ‘Value Merchant of the Year’ at this year’s Sommelier Wine Awards (SWAs).

The only competition focused exclusively on the UK on-trade, the SWAs are judged by leading sommeliers and buyers from across the country. In their summary, the judging panel praised the quality, value and breadth of the LWC range:

"Not only was LWC Drinks responsible for the House White of the Year trophy-winning wine - Calmel & Joseph's Villa Blanche Chardonnay (£9.18) - three-quarters of its Gold medal winners were priced under £10… it was a clear front-runner when it came to value. Turn to our House Wine pages and you'll see LWC Drinks listed again and again.”

Shaun Healy, LWC Wine Director also comments: “We work hard to ensure that our wines offer both great quality and value to our customers and it’s brilliant to see this was reflected in the results of the competition.”

Winning this award is no mean feat and we are incredibly grateful to all of our incredible customers, suppliers and partners for your loyal support.

Thank you!
