Virgin Wines award wins

We don’t like to brag… but

When wine experts and industry judges keep handing you awards, it'd be rude not to mention it.

Over the years, we've picked up some pretty impressive trophies, from being named Online Retailer of the Year to winning gold medals for the wines our customers can't get enough of.

Of course, the real judges are the people who enjoy drinking our wines. But we're not turning down a few shiny trophies either.

🏆 Online Retailer of the Year

The Drinks Business Awards 2026

One of the biggest awards in the wine industry. Judges recognised our customer experience, innovation and commitment to helping people discover better wine online.

🏆 Online Retailer of the Year

People's Choice Wine Awards 2025

This one's especially close to our hearts because it reflects what wine lovers think, not just our industry insiders.

🏆 WineBank named Wine Club of the Year

International Wine Challenge (IWC) Awards 2024

Our WineBank members already knew it was special. The International Wine Challenge agreed.

Great wine doesn't make itself. Our buying team spends the year hunting down hidden gems and creating sensational new wines from scratch. Countless winery visits and tastings go into bringing you memorable bottles and exclusive wine collections you won’t find anywhere else.

Here are some of their most recent award wins.
