Lyme Bay Winery glows at Quality Drink Awards

James Lambert, managing director of Lyme Bay Winery outside the Shute-based winery.

On Thursday 9 November, Lyme Bay Winery picked up five awards for its Country Wines and Fruit Liqueurs at the Quality Drink Awards, the most prestigious awards for wine, spirits and beer products on sale in UK grocery outlets.

Receiving a Gold for its warming Ginger Wine and a Bronze for its medium sweet Peach Wine in the Fruit Wine Category, as well as three Bronze awards for its Ginger Liqueur, Elderberry & Port and Cherry Brandy, the Devon-based producer was praised for its great tasting products, impressing a judging panel comprised of chefs, food writers, food technologists and restauranteurs on the hunt for the finest flavours, textures and aromas.

Before the awards were announced, guests at the awards ceremony, which was held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London, got to taste the Ginger Liqueur in a specially commissioned Autumn Mimosa, which was created to mark the event in partnership with London-based cocktail consultants, Fluid Movement.
