Decanter magazine DWWA supplement: September 2023

Celebrating two decades of DWWA, the difference between where we are now and where we were then is justifiably scale. The exacting evaluation process for quality, however, carried out by a network of the world’s leading wine experts, remains fundamental. Topping records in 2023 with 18,250 wines evaluated from 57 countries, the painstaking but rewarding journey to award Bronze, Silver and Gold, Platinum and ultimately Best in Show is a collective achievement we have put to paper.
