This is the first time any retailer has won both awards in the same year. These accolades crown an impressive year for Tesco at the prestigious competition, having already been awarded over 100 medals across its wine range comprising 2 gold, 15 silver, 40 bronze medals and 46 wines commended.<\/p>\n<p>The IWC Own Label Range of the Year award holds significant value within the industry, acknowledging the excellence, quality and marketability of own-label wines, as well as the hard work of the Tesco team.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-20192 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mostlyfood.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/iwc.jpg\" alt=\"IWC\" width=\"191\" height=\"165\" \/>The IWC Supermarket of the Year award goes one step further, with a lengthy application process delving deeply into the rationale behind the wine range and how it is curated and presented, as well as more expansive topics around the business as a whole, including sustainability plans and employee satisfaction. Winning this award is a clear reflection of the commitment from Tesco to environmental efforts, and the wellbeing and fulfilment of its staff.<\/p>\n<p>Tesco also took home further trophies at the Awards Ceremony, namely the IWC Great Value Champion Sweet for the Tesco Finest Dessert Semillon 2018 and the IWC Great Value Champion Fortified for the Tesco Finest Pedro Ximenez NV . Both of these awards recognise the excellent value that these wines offer, giving consumers some excellent options for summer sipping.
