BeverageWorld BevStar Awards 2010 E-mail


The editorial team of Beverage World is very pleased to present the inaugural edition of the BevStar Awards, which recognize innovation among individual brands across beverage categories.

Our judges have selected gold, silver and bronze award winners in each of seven categories: carbonated soft drinks, bottled water (including enhanced and flavored waters), beer/large brewer, beer/craft, wine and spirits, functional/energy beverages and ready-to-drink tea. Candidates were judged based on innovation in ingredients, packaging and positioning, as well as overall uniqueness. We’ve also designated four special jury awards, honoring achievement in eco-leadership, product reinvention, social media and marketing innovation. And, of course, among all of the winners, we’ve selected a Best in Show.

Congratulations to all BevStar honorees!
