With the aim of bestow recognition to the work of professionals in the Spanish wine sector, users of the Gourmet Wine Guide, The Best of Spain, are in charge of choosing the best representatives of the sector, be those wines, institutions, wineries or people. In these awards at the 40th edition, the Gourmets Wine Guide team acts exclusively as a receiver of votes and as guarantor of their delivery, since it is only readers who decide the outcome of the elections through the magazine or the mobile application.
