We've got information on more than 3,800 restaurants worldwide. All these dining destinations share a dedication to wine that has earned them one of the three award levels in Wine Spectator's Restaurant Wine List Awards program.
Our basic award, for lists that offer a well-chosen selection of quality producers, along with a thematic match to the menu in both price and style.
Best of Award of Excellence
Our second-tier award gives special recognition to restaurants that exceed the requirements of the Award of Excellence; these lists display vintage depth or excellent breadth across several regions.
Grand Award
Our highest award, given to restaurants that show an uncompromising, passionate devotion to the quality of their wine program. These restaurants typically offer 1,500 selections or more, and feature serious breadth of top producers, outstanding depth in mature vintages, large-format bottles, and superior organization, presentation and wine service.
