Food & Wine reports that Tesco has been named Outstanding Supermarket Wine Range at the 2026 IWSC National Drinks Retail Awards, after posting the highest press tasting scores among major supermarkets for a second straight year. The report says Tesco’s range runs to roughly 800 own-label wines, with nearly 100 in the premium Tesco Finest tier, and credits a buying team that includes Master of Wine Elizabeth Kelly plus long-running winery partnerships. For the UK trade and shoppers alike, it is another sign that supermarket wine remains a serious quality battleground, not just a volume game.
