Low & no alcohol drinks
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The IWSC is the largest awards for low and no alcohol drinks
The IWSC’s Low & No Awards is its biggest recent success story with entries growing year on year since the Award's establishment in 2019.
IWSC - global drinks community
Reflecting the industry category and award entry growth, in 2023 the IWSC created two low/no producer trophies. Recognising medal performance and brand commitment to the industry, by awarding a Low/No Wine Producer Trophy and a Low/No Spirits Producer Trophy, sponsored by BevZero.
Keeping our community up-to-date with the latest happenings in the low/no category is key. We took a deep dive into the current market in the IWSC’s Low/No Insight Report.
Mixer add-on awards
Sponsored by Franklin & Sons, we created our Mixer Awards to crown the world's best spirits and mixer pairings. If you are submitting a low/no-alcohol alternative spirit to our judging, you can also enter our Mixer Awards.
The judges will be selecting the best Low/No Gin & Tonic, Low/No Vodka & Tonic, Low/No Rum & Tonic, Low/No Whisky Highball, Low/No Agave & Tonic, and NEW to 2024 - Low/No Paloma (low/no tequila & grapefruit soda), Low/No Rum & Cola and Low/No Whisky & Ginger Ale.

“There has been real progress made in the low alcohol space over the past couple of years. It is very clear that producers are putting some serious time, effort, and innovation into increasing quality.
“The judges tasted the full spectrum of low alcohol drinks, from beer to wine through to the spirits and what has been great to see is how very good some of the alternatives to what we consider traditional alcoholic beverages are, and for those created to be a substitute, how difficult it would be to tell the difference between some of them.”
David T Smith, IWSC Judging Committee
