Independent off-licence owners have selected their recommended wines after assessing 600 tipples.
Points were awarded on the basis of appearance, smell, taste and value for money criteria, and the winning 15 were selected as the best wines from key suppliers across a number of price categories.
Each of the winning wines will be sold in 315 NOffLA member outlets. The chosen wines will be recognisable by distinctive award symbols on each bottle.
In the pre-Christmas period NOffLA members will promote the Gold Star Awards 2015-2016 Collection as ideal Christmas gifts, in a variety of special gift packs.
