The World of Fine Wine is happy to announce the winners of the World’s Best Wine Lists 2024 Regional Category Awards.
The winners were chosen as the best establishments in 19 categories in each of six regions: Asia, Australasia, Europe, Middle East and Africa, North America, and South & Central America and the Caribbean.
The regional winners in each category will now go on to compete for the Global Category Awards, which will be announced on September 16, 2024, at The World’s Best Wine Lists 2024 awards ceremony at London’s Glaziers Hall.
“It has been another difficult year for the judges, but in the best way possible—we had to spend a long time debating and narrowing down so many impressive entries to come up with our final selection,” said the chairman of the World’s Best Wine Lists awards and editor of The World of Fine Wine, Neil Beckett.

“We are proud of the exceptionally high standard of the World’s Best Wine Lists 2024 Regional Category Awards winners, and we are very much looking forward to meeting up again to make our next set of difficult decisions: choosing the Global Category Award winners.”
The World’s Best Wine Lists is a global awards program created in 2014 by the multi-award-winning publication The World of Fine Wine.
Judged according to a rigorous protocol by independent, international panels of leading professionals, including World Champion Sommeliers, Master Sommeliers, Masters of Wine, and highly respected wine writers, it is the first awards program to acknowledge the crucial importance of a good wine selection—regardless of size—in the modern dining experience all round the world.
