That means anyone from bartenders to wine makers, craft beer and spirits producers, drink writers, sommeliers, distributors, researchers, educators, entrepreneurs, tech creators, scientists non-profit workers, farmers, consumers, designers, activists, chefs, fishers, restaurateurs, food writers and more can be nominated.
