Sommeliers Choice Awards | 8,118 followers on LinkedIn. 🍷  #MarkOfExcellence | 2025 Submissions are open! | Organized by Beverage Trade Network, Sommeliers Choice Awards is one of the most unique international wine competitions within the United States judged by Sommeliers, Wine Directors, and On-Premise Wine Buyers. This competition focuses exclusively on the needs of on-premise establishments such as bars, restaurants, lounges, and clubs, making it fundamentally different from any other wine competition within the U.S. 

The goal of the new Sommeliers Choice Awards is simple: to provide experienced on-premise buyers and sommeliers with a valuable benchmark for understanding which wines would make a compelling addition to a wine list.
