While the Australian Distilled Spirits Awards Trophy Presentation is officially sold out, you can still join in the celebrations via live stream. Join us this Wednesday 1 December from 7:45pm (AEDT) as we announce the winners of the 2021 Australian Distilled Spirits Awards. Eighteen trophies will be awarded to Australia's best spirits, liqueurs, aromatics and vermouths, live from Victoria Pavilion, Melbourne Showgrounds.

The recent easing of COVID restrictions has pleasingly enabled us to proceed with judging of the 2021 Melbourne Royal Wine Awards this week. More than 2,300 wines are being judged by 21 industry experts across four days at Melbourne Showgrounds. Established in 1884, the Melbourne Royal Wine Awards is one of Australia’s oldest and most respected wine shows recognising and rewarding excellence in Australian winemaking with the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy for best two-year-old red or younger, being one of the feature trophies to win.
