Among the top non-alcoholic drinks, two Liviko products – Ginger Duke and Corsaro Aperitivo – also earned gold medals.

This year’s competition, organised by the Estonian Sommelier Association, saw a historic participation of 167 different drinks from 48 beverage producers. The evaluation panel, consisting of 26 renowned sommeliers, bartenders, journalists and other experts, conducted blind tastings. During the competition, evaluators had access to limited information to maintain the product’s anonymity. Simplifying the tasting process, drinks were categorised based on flavour profiles and nature, with the best in each category identified.
