The Wine Spectator Restaurant Awards have been around since 1981. The winning restaurants are ranked on three different levels, including the Award of Excellence, the Best of Award of Excellence and the Grand Award.
“The restaurant industry is growing and thriving, with restaurant openings surpassing pre-pandemic levels for the first time. To take advantage of the uptick, restaurateurs are investing in their wine programs,” says Marvin R. Shanken, Editor and Publisher of Wine Spectator. “Restaurants that make wine a priority are what the Wine Spectator Restaurant Awards program is all about. I’m pleased to congratulate all 3,777 restaurants for their dedication to wine and exemplary wine lists.”
