The Beverage Information Group, Cheers’ parent company, held a reception at the recent 69th Annual WSWA Convention in Las Vegas to recognize the 2012 Growth Brand Award winners in the wine and spirits categories.

This year’s reception was the second time the Growth Brand Awards were presented in conjunction with the WSWA event. Dozens of representatives from the industry’s iconic brands attended and accepted awards.

“We’d like to congratulate all the Growth Brand Award winners,” said Beverage Information Group executive vice president Charles Forman. “We wish them continued success and look forward to seeing many of them next year.”

Growth Brand Award winners were recognized in four categories: Rising Stars, Fast Track, Established Growth and the Comeback awards tier. The categories are designed to organize the wine and spirit brands demonstrating notable growth in a meaningful, quantifiable way to help retailers, restaurateurs and the industry at large discern existing and emerging trends.
