“Many customers, and indeed potential customers, recognise the awards through their awareness of the Decanter brand and the esteem in which it’s held. In this way, having an award reassures existing customers that they are buying from a top retailer.“Hannah Schwarzer – Tanners Wines, National Wine Shop & Subscription Wine Club of the Year 2018
