What is AWLOTY?

AWLOTY (Australian Wine List of the Year) is Australia's most prestigious wine list recognition program. Winning an AWLOTY award — even a single glass — signals to diners that your restaurant takes wine seriously.

iSommelier's AI is trained on AWLOTY criteria, so every recommendation helps move your score toward recognition. Our real-time gap analysis tells you exactly what to improve.
