IWC 2026 - Wine & Sake Awards

Wine & Sake top awards revealed at the IWC Industry Awards 2026.

Our judges tasted and assessed thousands of wines and sakes over the course of judging in both London and Hiroshima. The IWC Co-Chairs were then faced with the gargantuan task of re-tasting, deliberating and debating every Gold medal winner to decide which wines, sakes, winemakers and brewers would receive the competition's prestigious and highly sought-after top Trophies.

And now, the results are finally in for the IWC 2026 competition.

The IWC Awards Dinner took place last night at the prestigious London Guildhall, where the global wine trade came together to recognise and celebrate this year's outstanding winners.



Our Co-Chairs presented Trophies to our Great Value winners, as well as the 2026 Champion Wines and Sakes and Champion Winemakers and Brewers.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank our IWC Awards partners, whose support helps make the IWC possible.
