(WineMag) - Over more than a decade, the editors of Wine Enthusiast Magazine have honored individuals who have contributed to the success of the wine and spirits industry with the Wine Star Awards. The winners are noted for their energy and groundbreaking vision, but this year, another theme is apparent: family. Because of the long-term nature of the industry, family-owned concerns have always been the bedrock that the wine business rests on. “It is with great pride that we award this prestigious recognition to the leaders of an industry driving a great passion we all have—wine,” stated Publisher and Editor Adam Strum. “We are thrilled to add these individuals and businesses to our family of Wine Star Awards winners.”
