Editor Neil Beckett and publisher Johanna Wilson collected the prestigious prize from Louis Roederer executive vice president Michel Janneau at a glittering event at the Four Seasons Hotel in London on September 17, confirming The World of Fine Wine’s preeminent position as the most respected wine magazine in the world.
