Finalists Announced for 67 Pall Mall Global Wine Communicator Awards

The finalists for the 2025 edition of the 67 Pall Mall Global Wine Communicator Awards have been announced, spotlighting standout talents from podcast, video production to longform writing.

Now in its second year, the awards received 577 entries from 22 countries, spanning everything from audio, video to longform writing. The winners will be revealed at a gala ceremony on September 5 in London.

“Witnessing so many excellent communicators, representing a diverse range of backgrounds and covering such a broad array of styles, is heartening proof of wine’s perpetual appeal,” said Richard Hemming MW, founder of the 67 Awards. “Few other subjects could stimulate such an inspiring collection of work.”

The awards are divided into six categories, recognising excellence across audio, short- and long-form video, writing, and all-around communication.

“The standard of entries to the 67 Awards continues to impress,” said Chair of Judges Elaine Chukan Brown. “Collectively, they generate an incredible resource for the entire wine industry, and deserve all the recognition that this competition brings.”

“In two decades of judging, this has been one of the most rigorously judged competitions with which I have ever been involved,” said Australian wine writer Tyson Stelzer. “The entries were extensive, the competition was fierce, and all finalists and winners should be mighty proud of their achievements.”

Agnese Gintere, founder of YouTube channel No Sediment, added: “It also felt truly unique, not only because all the judges came from different geographical areas and backgrounds, but also because a meaningful exchange of views led to thoughtful results.”

Judges also included Sonal Holland MW (India), Andrew Jefford (France), and Anna Lee Iijima (U.S.).

“This has been a fearsome level of talent,” Hemming said. “Finding out the winners at the Awards Ceremony on 5th September will be a must-watch moment for every wine professional.”
