Awards
I've listed all the awards the distillery has won, but it seems possibly like overkill. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be consensus on how to list awards from spirit competitions or where to draw the line. Any advice or perspective is appreciated.Swordswfriends (talk) 18:57, 9 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, articles about specific brands of alcohol have a strong tendency to be padded-out with spam, often by paid editors. This is an ongoing problem. For this reason comparisons to other similar articles is of very limited use. To put it another way, resist the temptation to cite precedent for any info that could reasonably be seen as promotional, and always provide context instead of bland lists. In practice, extremely few people actually care about most of these awards, other than the companies themselves. If those are the only people who care, then we would be misleading readers if we tell them these awards are encyclopedically significant.
 * No award is automatically significant, no matter how famous. For the most prestigious awards, it is barely acceptable to assume that reliable sources exist. For most awards, independent sources are necessary.
 * The liqueur industry has many, many routine events that include tastings and awards. These awards are functionally PR events. They are pretty fun to attend, but they are not encyclopedically significant without a good reason. So as with other awards in other industries, it comes down to reliable, independent sources. The usual standard on Wikipedia is to only include awards which are independently noteworthy, either as an event, or as a company. This means the award either has its own article, or editors have some specific reason to think it should have its own article. If the aware lacks notability, then it should be explained to readers why the award is significant, and this will require context from reliable, independent sources.
