Sommeliers, Bartenders, Retailers and other hospitality professionals of the United Kingdom are invited to sign up for London Competitions online webinars.

London Competitions 2025 introduces a global movement through its global brand ambassador education program, offering a unique opportunity for wine, beer and spirits professionals to learn. There will be two main ways London Competitions aims to educate its global community. One is via online zoom webinars and second is via educational articles.

The London Competitions for wine, spirits and beer have had a clear goal from when they were first introduced eight years ago. To create a new highly respected drinks awards programme that would judge products in the way that consumers buy them. By what they taste like, what they look like and how much they cost - and only using top drinks experts, with active buying responsibilities, as its judges. But it also wants to help drinks producers and brand owners tell their story in their key export markets. That by winning a medal in a London Competition can be seen as an international benchmark that deserves recognition around the world. 

By establishing ambassadors, category champions and experts in key global drinks markets it hopes it can carry that message through their individual personalities and personal networks. One of the main ways London Competition aims to grow the region and category sales is by education.

Here are the upcoming webinars planned by London Competitions that wineries, breweries and distilleries can sign up for free.
