Singapore Airlines (SIA) has won five gold awards at the prestigious Cellars in the Sky Awards which recognises amazing beverages served by airlines.
The awards ceremony took place on 20 February 2023. The airline won gold awards for Best Overall Cellar, Best Business Class Red, Best Business Class Cellar, Best Presented Business Class Wine List, and Best Presented First Class Wine List, along with six silver and bronze awards.
The airline said it spends significant amounts of time choosing and serving its wine collection and has well-known British wine consultant Oz Clarke as part of its team as well as in-flight sommeliers.
Receiving the awards on behalf of Singapore Airlines were General Manager for the UK and Ireland, Mohamed Rafi Mar, the Airline’s wine consultant, Oz Clarke, and colleagues.
Now in its 37th year, Cellars in the Sky has been running since 1985 and celebrates the best business and first-class wines served by airlines on their flights.
This year’s judges were John Worontschak, Helen McGinn, Masters of Wine Peter McCombie and Sarah Abbott, and head judge Charles Metcalfe, founder of the International Wine Challenge.
Speaking after the awards win, Mohamed Rafi Mar said: “We are very pleased that Singapore Airlines has won Gold in so many categories at this year’s Cellars in the Sky Awards and we are especially proud to have won the Best Overall Wine Cellar award for the second year running.
“Credit must go to our Inflight Services team and our wine consultants – including Oz Clarke – who sample up to 1,000 bottles of wine each year as part of our selection process.
“It is great to see that their commitment to offering Singapore Airlines’ customers the very best gourmet dining experience is bearing fruit and they continue to set the very highest standards for our inflight offerings.”
