TO recognise the growing importance of wines to its readers, luxury magazine The Peak Selections: Gourmet and Travel unveiled its annual G Top 100 Wine list in a glitzy award ceremony held last night.

The magazine has been crowning top wines annually in conjunction with the G Restaurant Awards since the publication's launch in 2009, but this is the first year the winners in the wine and restaurant categories were feted in two separate award ceremonies. The G Restaurant Awards were held earlier in May this year.

For the wine awards, more than 200 labels from over 12 countries were submitted by 31 importer-distributors for judging. A panel comprising 14 of Singapore's seasoned palates, such as Edwin Soon, Tan Kah Hin and Tan Ying Hsien, then evaluated the wines over two intense days of blind tastings to select the G Top 100 Wines for 2013.
