Buying panels are made up of leading wine buyers and industry experts representing
all key sectors in the UK market
DWWA Buyers' Report panels include wine buyers of national and independent retailers, importers, leading fine and casual dining restaurants and exclusive members’ clubs.
Through the evaluation process, these buyers assess a wine's suitability for the UK market, offering entrants invaluable insights and advice with a personalised feedback report. Buyer-approved wines are included on our new Decanter Recommends list to offer trusted, independent, expert recommendations for importers, distributors and agents in the UK market.
