The Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA) and The Tasting Alliance joined forces to bring a high-profile tasting competition to Access LIVE 2025 in Denver in February. The annual competition offers brands exposure to distributors nationwide. This year’s event kicked off early with a reengineered Wine & Spirits Tasting Competition, powered by The Tasting Alliance. Competing brands battled for the spotlight, earning recognition throughout Access LIVE, a spot in the Best in Show Tasting at the heart of HQ Connect and the chance to advance to the legendary 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. More than 80 wholesaler companies from across the country were in attendance. View the winners list here.
