Which are the good ones in your view?

People’s tastes in beer and wine vary so dramatically (and there are so many styles) that it’s not clear to me that you can actually have a “best of.”

The beer and wine I enjoy the best my wife finds completely unpalatable. For wine, I enjoy a dry Grenache; Mas de Gourgonnier is a good one. For beer, I enjoy a beer with body, a malty profile, and balanced hops; there are many mass-produced styles that fit this, but I like Sam Smith Organic Lager, and Leffe Brune. I’ve also brewed many beers myself and one of my all-time favorites was an all-grain formulation of a honey ale [1].

Such is the nature of beer and wine (and HN) that someone is going to “disagree” with me. That’s fine. Just go try some things and see what you like.

Sorry, I meant which awards not actual drinks :)
