LWC Named On-Trade Wine Supplier of the Year
Celebrating industry recognition at the People’s Choice Drinks Awards 2025
We’re thrilled to announce that LWC has been named On-Trade Wine Supplier of the Year at the 2025 People’s Choice Drinks Awards – a fantastic recognition of our commitment to supporting the UK’s vibrant hospitality sector with a tailored, trade-first wine offering.
Now in its seventh year, the People’s Choice Drinks Awards is the only UK drinks awards judged by both consumers and industry professionals. This year marked a significant shift, with the introduction of on-trade specific categories designed to highlight excellence in service, supply, and support for hospitality venues across the country.
We’re honoured to be the very first winner of the On-Trade Wine Supplier of the Year award, sponsored by Beyond Wines. The category was created to recognise wine suppliers that go above and beyond to meet the needs of the on-trade – from delivering high-quality products to offering expert advice and exceptional customer service.
Frances Bentley, Wine Buyer at LWC Drinks, proudly accepted the award on behalf of the business. “It’s a privilege to be recognised in a category that truly reflects our focus,” said Frances. “At LWC, we build our wine portfolio around the needs of the on-trade – combining quality, value, and variety with the insight and service our customers need to create outstanding wine lists.”
This award is a testament to the dedication of our wine team, the strength of our supplier relationships, and the ongoing support of our hospitality customers. From innovative wine-on-tap formats to thoughtfully curated by-the-glass options, we’re constantly evolving our range to reflect changing tastes and trading conditions – while keeping ease and margin front of mind for venues.
Thank you to the People’s Choice Drinks Awards for this recognition – and to our customers and partners across the UK for continuing to choose LWC.
