This year’s Wine Merchant Top 100 winners have been announced.

Congratulations to all the producers and importers who made the cut this year. These are the 10% of wines that came out on top after a tough day of judging in April, in which 36 independent merchants tasted nearly 1,000 wines.

We’ve presented the winners according to style in the list below. The price we quote is the recommended retail price as supplied by the entrant.

We’ve numbered the wines from 1 to 100 as this is the system we’ve used for our stand at the London Wine Fair, to make it easier to navigate. These numbers do not indicate any position within our Top 100.

We’ll be explaining why these wines were this year’s winners in the supplement we publish in July, along with all of our highly commended wines.
