Lyre's Wins 5 Medals at the International Wine & Spirits Competition 2026

At Lyre's, we believe that exceptional taste should never be limited by alcohol content. That commitment to craftsmanship has once again been recognised on the global stage.

We're proud to share that Lyre's has been awarded five medals at the International Wine & Spirits Competition (IWSC) 2026, one of the world's most respected drinks competitions.

This year's results included two Gold medals and three Bronze medals across our non-alcoholic range.

Even more impressively, the IWSC noted that only 5.9% of all entrants across the entire competition received a Gold medal, making this recognition especially meaningful.

What Is the International Wine & Spirits Competition?

Founded in 1969, the International Wine & Spirits Competition is one of the most influential drinks competitions in the world.

Entries are judged through a rigorous tasting process by industry experts, including buyers, educators, distillers, sommeliers and drinks professionals. Medals are awarded only to products that demonstrate exceptional quality, balance and character.

For Lyre's, these results reinforce what we've always believed: non-alcoholic drinks deserve the same level of craftsmanship and recognition as their alcoholic counterparts.

Raising the Bar For Non-Alcoholic Drinks

As more consumers explore non-alcoholic options, expectations continue to rise.

Today's drinkers are looking for:

• Complex and authentic flavour
• Versatility across occasions and cocktails
• Premium experiences without compromise

These awards reflect the continued growth of the category and the innovation driving it forward.
