今年由Drinks International搞嘅World's Most Admired Wine Brand已經有結果，超過200人嘅評選團隊，當中包括各大釀酒師、侍酒師、葡萄酒商、葡萄酒導師、傳媒等相關行業人士，以最公平嘅原則進行票選，榮獲冠軍嘅澳洲名莊 Penfolds！

由Treasury Wine Estate (TWE)擁有嘅Penfolds，成功擊敗Torres登頂，絕對係實力嘅表現。評選標準除咗葡酒自身嘅質素之外，仲會衡量埋酒莊作品能否反映產地特色、行銷包裝、品牌形象，仲有回應消費者 (飲家) 需求等等，並唔係擺大budget落marketing或者「出貨量」較多就有得上榜。一句講哂，有錢都未必做到冠軍。

據Drinks International嘅報告所講，Penfolds幫TWE於亞洲市場做出極好嘅成績，北亞洲銷售量升咗149%，南亞洲都升咗47%，成績好驚人。TWE好樂意投資更多落亞洲市場，舊年佢地直情響上海舉辦咗Penfolds Collection Global Launch，亦係佢地歷史上，第一次離開澳洲去搞呢個活動。
