FAQs

What are the World Alcohol-Free Awards?

The World Alcohol-Free Awards is an international competition celebrating the best alcohol-free beers, wines, spirits, ciders, cocktails and functional drinks from around the world.

Are the awards judged blind?

Yes. Drinks are assessed through blind tasting by an experienced panel of judges, helping to ensure products are judged on quality rather than brand recognition.

What does a Gold medal mean?

A Gold medal is awarded to drinks that achieve the highest standards for flavour, aroma, balance and overall quality within their category.

Are award winners always the best drinks?

Awards are an excellent indicator of quality, but personal taste always plays a role. A beer that wins Silver may still be your favourite depending on the style you enjoy.

Does MyDryBar agree with every award?

Not always. One of the aims of this guide is to compare the official results with our own independent reviews, helping readers decide which drinks are most likely to suit their tastes.

How often is this guide updated?

We update this page whenever new World Alcohol-Free Awards results are announced and as we review more medal-winning drinks.
