Stanton & Killeen, Accolade and Singlefile Wines are among finalists in the 2023 Wine Communicator Awards.
Each entry is reviewed by a panel of expert judges and a winner is selected in consultation with the WCA Board.
The overall Wine Communicator of the Year Award will then be chosen from the category winners by the WCA Board and announced at the award ceremony on Tuesday 14 November in Sydney.
Angus Barnes, executive chair of Wine Communicators Australia, says, “These awards are a key pillar of what we do at the Wine Communicators of Australia, and we want to acknowledge and celebrate those people and companies that communicate about wine.
“While it may be challenging times in the Australian wine industry right now, it is important to celebrate success, particularly for those helping share the message on wine’
