The Blue Penny Cellar at the Constance Belle Mare Plage hotel did particularly well, shortlisted for seven awards including:
- Best Hotel Wine List
- Best Dessert & Fortified Wine List
- Best Regional Wine List (Outside the Region)
- Best Wine by the Glass LIst
- Best Half Bottle Wine List
- Best Large-Format Wine List
- Best Long Wine List
On the night, Blue Penny Cellar was the Runner Up for the Best Regional wine List and won the award for the Best Long Wine List.
In addition, the Alizee Restaurant at Constance Moofushi was nominated for and won the Best All-Inclusive Wine List and Jing Restaurant at Constance Halaveli was nominated for the Best Organic Wine List.

Constance Moofushi stands out with its all-inclusive wine offering, which features an extensive and carefully curated wine list of a quality and range rarely found in all-inclusive resorts, especially in such a remote destination.
Comments Jerome Faure, Corporate Sommelier for Constance Hospitality: ‘The World of Fine Wine Awards is the most prestigious and rigorous global wine lists award programme. We are delighted to have featured so strongly, receiving the most amount of nominations for any hotel group. It is testament to the hard work shown by all of our team of highly trained sommeliers who are passionate about what they do. Winning two awards on the night and being nominated for a further six is a huge honour and achievement.”

This recognition underlines the hotel group’s distinctive approach to wine culture. At Constance Hotels & Resorts, wine is not just about an extensive list, but about passion, curation, and the craft of their sommeliers, who bring unforgettable experiences to guests through their knowledge and creativity.
The Awards Ceremony, now in its 12th year, took place at an elegant gala dinner at the Savoy Hotel, London.
