for its extensive and outstanding sake collection
Macao, October 20, 2025 —The 2025 China's Wine List of the Year Awards – renowned as the "Oscars of China's F&B and sommelier industry" – recently announced that nine restaurants at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau garnered the highest "3 Glasses" and "2 Glasses" awards at this year's 13th annual ceremony. Six signature Wynn restaurants – Chef Tam's Seasons, Lakeview Palace, Mizumi, SW Steakhouse, Fontana, and Drunken Fish – achieved the highest "3 Glasses Award" ratings, and three more restaurants – Sushi Mizumi, Wing Lei and Zhu Guang Yu Hot Pot (Wynn Macau) – garnered the "2 Glasses Award". In another toast to the Michelin-starred Mizumi, the China Wine's List of the Year awarded the "China's Best Sake List" honor to the Japanese restaurant for its extensive and outstanding sake collection.
The restaurants and bars at Wynn in Macao house an unrivalled sake collection of more than 180 exceptional labels, over 30 Nama Sake varieties, and a curated selection of the world's most sought-after sake brands. Throughout 2025, Mizumi collaborated with well-established Japanese sake breweries among the likes of Zaku from Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten brewery, Daruma Masamune, Niizawa Sake Brewery, Tengumai and more legendary brands, paving the way for the "China's Best Sake List" honor. Through these collaborations, Executive Chef Hironori Maeda at Mizumi significantly elevated the sake experience in Macao by meticulously pairing Japan's most prestigious sakes with thoughtfully selected seasonal ingredients of the highest quality from Japan.
Mizumi also continues to partner with the world's foremost authorities on wine and sake, guests can participate in masterclasses and guided tasting experiences featuring champion encounter of sakes and ingredients. In July, Mizumi at Wynn Palace played host to the International Wine Challenge (IWC) – the world's most influential wine and sake competition. Throughout the event, guests were invited to savor special pairings of the 2025 award-winning wines with Wild Champion Grade tuna dines and seasonal creations. Following on from the success of IWC Sake, Mizumi will partner with the Oriental Sake Awards (OSA) from October 24 to 25, to present a pairing event featuring the award-winning OSA Sake and champion Kobe Wagyu beef.
The Wynn Signature Chinese Wine Awards – created by "Wynn Signature" – the exclusive lifestyle brand of Wynn Resorts, also played a significant role in garnering these award wins. The goal of the world-class awards event is to provide a strategic platform for the long-term promotion of high-quality Chinese wines and empower the Chinese wine industry to expand internationally. In just two short years since the awards was launched, the competition has successfully managed to garner global acclaim and continues to play an influential role in promoting Chinese wines around the world. All of the award-winning wines are featured on the daily wine lists at the leading restaurants and bars at Wynn and are offered at wine tasting events, themed banquets as well as food and wine pairing events. Through Wynn's influential network of global resources and well-established food and beverage program, the award-winning wines from China can shine on a global stage and create new opportunities for Wynn to garner more awards in future.
Established in 1993 by Tucker Seabrook, the Wine List of the Year Awards were introduced to recognize and reward the enormous investment in time, skill and resources that go into developing the best quality wine and beverage lists. In 2012, Rob Hirst, founder of the International Wine List of the Year Awards, and Tommy Lam, founder of the China National Sommelier Competition, launched China's Wine List of the Year Awards in China. This marked the beginning of the Wine List Awards in Greater China. Since its establishment over a decade ago, the awards have not only discovered and recognized many outstanding restaurants and individuals but have also risen to become the authoritative list of the leading players in China's F&B sector and sommelier industry.
