"By Buyers, for Buyers" - this has been the key ethos for Harpers Wine Stars since its inception.

Buyers can trust Harpers Wine Stars results because they have been awarded by their peers -buyers who understand the commercial landscape and what a wine needs in order to be successful on a retail shelf or restaurant wine list.

For Harpers Wine Stars, we guarantee that ALL of our judges are frontline buyers with current purchasing responsibility. And to reflect the wider trade, we recruit buyers from all sectors of the trade including on- and off-trade, independent and multiple. This ensures the ultimate panel of judging experience and scope.
