BRAVO award winners for
The Best Wine List in 2025
Best Wine List Brighton
Wine lovers are a passionate lot, and there’s no shortage of you eager to vote for the best wine list Brighton can deliver. A winning wine list is more than a menu – it’s a journey through vineyards, a maker’s story, and a showcase of expertise and passion. And of course many local wine lists celebrate Sussex vineyards and Sussex Sparkling produced on our doorstep.
Whether it’s a perfectly paired wine flight or a single exquisite glass, the best lists cater to all tastes and budgets while they surprise and delight.
Congratulations to this year’s BRAVO winner – Wild Flor – and to all the fantastic venues shortlisted in 2025. Let’s celebrate with a glass of great wine (or two)!
