Winners of the Wine and Spirits Awards 2025
On 22 April 2025, the Wine&Spirits Awards 2025 international tasting competition brought together 216 samples of wines and spirits from all corners of Ukraine, from the Carpathians to the southern coast. The competition jury worked in five tasting commissions, which included renowned Ukrainian experts.
‘It is very gratifying that not only well-known and titled wineries are participating in the competition, but also ’new names" that are receiving medals. This is an incredibly successful debut for many of them!
I am very proud of all the participants who, despite the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine, impress tasting commissions not only in Ukraine but also at international competitions every year, winning medals and prestigious awards. I am also infinitely grateful to all the members of the jury for their effective, clear work, impartiality and impeccable professionalism!" — shares her impressions Victoria Agromakova, founder of Wine&Spirits Awards and WS Events.
