EuroVintage was named Champion Wine Company of the Year at the 2024 New Zealand International Wine Show at the Crowne Plaza in Auckland on Friday 18 October.

Winning the Trophy for the fourth time in ten years, the night proved a record year for EuroVintage, scooping its greatest ever haul including five Trophies, nine Double Gold medals and over 30 Gold medals.

Accepting the Trophy, CEO Nick Hern acknowledged EuroVintage’s stellar performance, congratulating his team and thanking the companies that make up EuroVintage’s brand portfolio. He went on to congratulate Convenor, Kingsley Wood, on the Show’s 20th anniversary year.

Eurovintage accepted trophies on behalf of its brand owners for Champion Champagne (Champagne Deutz Classic NV), Champion Gewurztraminer (Domaines Schlumberger Kessler Grand Cru 2021), Champion International Red Wine (Bodegas Castano Hecula 2021) & Champion Fortified Wine (Lustau Pedro Ximenez San Emilio).

Kingsley Wood commented that EuroVintage’s performance was a feat previously unequalled and was unlikely to be matched again.
