67 Pall Mall is a private members wine club founded in London in December 2015, with multiple locations worldwide. Richard Hemming MW, who founded the Awards, is also its head of wine Asia.
He commented: “This year’s competition once again shows the strength of wine communication around the world… It took several rounds of robust debate for our judges to decide who should ultimately prevail.”
The judging panel consisted of six communicators in their field: Elaine Chukan Brown, chair of judges and a writer and speaker; Agnese Gintere, a YouTuber and MW student; Andrew Jefford, a poet and wine writer; Anna Lee Iijima, a writer and reviewer; Sonal Holland, India’s only MW; and Tyson Stelzer, a critic, an author and a champagne expert.
The judges narrowed down 577 entries from 193 communicators to reach their final conclusions.
Agnese Gintere, founder of the No Sediment YouTube channel, said: “It was an honour to judge alongside some of the top wine personalities. It also felt truly unique, not only because all the judges came from different geographical areas and backgrounds, but also because a meaningful exchange of views led to thoughtful results."
