Les finalistes des Spirited Awards 2020® sont annoncés

La cérémonie des Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards ®, bien que différente cette année, a poursuivi son objectif de récompenser les meilleurs dans l’industrie de l’accueil.

Les Tales of the Cocktail Foundation’s Spirited Awards ® célèbrent cette année leur 14e édition. Comme chaque année, ils célèbrent les professionnels des boissons, les produits et les établissements de toutes les facettes de la communauté mondiale des boissons alcoolisées et des cocktails. Les catégories de prix mettent en lumière un éventail de talents allant des bartenders, journalistes et ambassadeurs de marques aux marques et médias. Ils veillent à ce que chaque aspect de l’industrie soit bien représenté et reconnu pour ses contributions.

La fondation a annoncé les quatre finalistes dans chaque catégorie hier, 24 août. Les prix de cette année ont pris une direction différente en partie à cause de la situation des coronavirus et pour éviter de répéter les lauréats et les nominés des éditions précédentes afin de donner une opportunité à tous les acteurs de l’industrie.
