The 50 shortlisted wine critics received in total 218,966 votes from wine professionals and wine lovers from 56 countries during the voting period.

In BWW Competition 2020, the Best Wine Critic of the World title was awarded to Neal Martin.

"Thank you to everyone who voted for me in the Best Wine Critic Competition, not least since many of the votes are cast by fellow wine professionals. Although by definition a competition, everyone that contributes towards communicating about wine has something to offer and is fighting the same cause - to encourage more people to drink well. That is more important today than ever in the shadow of proposed import tariffs and ever-stronger anti-alcohol lobbyists. Despite these immediate challenges, wine has been enjoyed for thousands of years and it will be enjoyed for thousands more." - Neal Martin (Senior Editor - Vinous)
