The competition focuses exclusively on the needs of on-premise establishments such as bars, restaurants, lounges, and clubs, making this competition fundamentally different from any other wine competition within the U.S.

The goal of the Sommeliers Choice Awards is to provide experienced on-premise buyers and sommeliers with a valuable benchmark for understanding which wines would make a compelling addition to a wine list. 

The Sommeliers Choice Awards judging panel includes Master Sommeliers, regional and national wine directors, and other leading sommeliers in the country. Wines are judged according to how well they pair with food, their typicity, value, quality, and packaging.
