Top Selection has once again secured its position among the elite of the UK trade, ranking 10th in the Harpers Top 50 Drinks Wholesalers list for 2026.

The annual awards highlight the UK’s most dynamic, quality-focused distributors, celebrating businesses that drive excellence, champion authenticity, and provide outstanding support to on-trade and off-trade clients.

Independence and Integrity

In their official write-up, the Harpers judging panel praised Top Selection as a business that “lives up to its name,” pointing directly to a core philosophy of independence and integrity.

The judges highlighted key elements that set our portfolio apart:

• Authentic Family Estates: A curated portfolio folding in 500 wines from over 100 predominantly family-owned producers, each representing a true expression of their appellation.

• World-Class Exclusive Agencies: Benchmark icon producers including Egon Müller, Szepsy, Boroli, Alves de Sousa, The Duckhorn Portfolio, and recent Barolo addition Borgogno.

• Global Leadership: Active involvement in shaping the future of fine wine, including co-owner Akos Forczek presenting to the EU on fine wine economics, as well as our deep participation in The Golden Vines.

• Holistic Sustainability: A genuine, portfolio-wide commitment to environmentally conscious, low-intervention viticulture.

Retaining a top-10 position is a fantastic testament to the hard work of our team and the incredible dedication of our producer partners. Above all, we want to thank our restaurant, hotel, and merchant clients across the UK for their continued partnership and trust.
