This past week in London an American photographer won the £1,000 prize by Sophie Wren, UK brand Manager for Errazuriz. He also took home a year’s worth supply of Errazuriz wine. Why? Because he took one of the world’s best wine photos.

“The competition was intensely fierce. Over 7,000 images and films were entered and the standard was phenomenal. Robert’s image stood out from the rest for its beautiful lighting and atmosphere, which takes you right into the picture,” said Wren.

Check out his photo below, along with others who were shortlisted for various categories.
