Wine Books Shortlist
The shortlist is a working tool. There still can be a few books added. It is short. The titles of the books are shortened, only a few of the authors are listed, the name of the publisher is short. It is adapted for English readers. We try to identify the book with very short data. You can easily find more detailed information on each book from Internet, using the shortlist as a basic reference.
It is a step towards the Best in the World. It does not include all the winners by country. It gives an idea of the scope of the competition. All three top winners in a category have the same rights to the Best in the World certificates and stickers. The quality of the top three is usually very close
The Awards ceremony for Wine and Drinks is May 27. At this Best in the World event, only the Number 1 is called to the stage, except for Special Awards, W4-1 who are all called to the Stage.
After the awards ceremony, there is a special small podium for photos that can be used by all guests who are present. The top three who are present get free certificates.
The Best in the World are announced May 27-28, NOT BEFORE. Only W1-1 Hall of Fame and W4-1 Special Awards are communicated before. The Best in the World slides shown at the event will be May 30 on our website www. cookbookfair.com
