Welcome to the Quality Food & Drink Awards'
drinks categories

In partnership with London Wine Fair

“London Wine Fair exists to connect the drinks trade with opportunity, and that is exactly why this partnership makes sense. The Quality Food & Drink Awards are uniquely placed because they are not simply rewarding technical excellence; they are recognising products that genuinely work in retail. That matters to producers, it matters to buyers and it matters to the future commercial success of brands.

The QFDA have a long-standing reputation for integrity and rigorous judging, and bringing the drinks categories back gives the industry a much-needed benchmark for retail excellence. We are proud to become the Official Drinks Partner and to help bring this opportunity to our exhibitors, producers and wider trade audience.”

- Hannah Tovey, Event Director of London Wine Fair
