CEO of Wine GB, Nicola Bates detailed that curating the list was a challenge thanks to the abundance of strong candidates amongst UK wine producers: “This has been another incredible year for wines from the UK and it is so important for us to recognise the wonderful achievements of these award-winners.
“We had so many outstanding wines to consider in 2025, it is an incredibly hard task to select just the best 50.”
She added: “We have seen our first 99 point wine, and with another global trophy from the International Wine Challenge, it is very clear that quality is continually increasing. We are seeing more and more interest in our sector, especially from overseas markets which demonstrates how this message is getting through.”
The wines will be available to taste at the Vineyard & Winery Show on November 19 2025. To read the full list click here.
