Imbibe Live to reveal Sommelier Wine Awards results

The two-day event will mark 12 months since Harpers owner Agile Media announced it would be teaming up with Imbibe Live to bring back The Sommelier Wine Awards (SWA). 

Pre-pandemic, SWA had built up an unrivalled reputation as the wine reference point for sommeliers and on-trade buyers seeking individual, quality wines for their lists.

Other key highlights across the event include a revitalised masterclass schedule, featuring industry big-hitters like Ian Burrell, Melissa Cole and Jack Sotti, The Great Imbibe Live Shake Off competition and the new Campo de Agave theatre, with agave masterclasses hosted by Club Cantina.
