Coles Liquor Group has recognised its best suppliers, partners and top product launch at its 2026 Liquorland Supplier Showcase.

Liquorland General Manager Commercial and Marketing Sophie Went said: “The Liquorland Supplier Showcase is always a great opportunity to bring our supplier community together, celebrate everything we’ve achieved over the past year and set the scene for what we must focus on for the year ahead,” she said.

“Our awards are a chance to recognise the fantastic results, innovation and partnership we see from our suppliers, and to thank them for the important role they play in helping us deliver for our customers. A huge congratulations to all our finalists and our 12 award winners. We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together.”

The win for Good Drinks Australia follows the company being named People’s Choice Supplier of the Year at the 2026 ALM On-Premise Awards, and Matso’s Vodka Pash Pine Crush being crowned WA’s Best New Alcoholic Beverage Product at the AHA (WA) Hospitality Supplier Awards.

Good Drinks Australia General Manager Sales & Marketing Mick McKeown said the accolades recognised the company’s role as a leading independent drinks business and genuine alternative to the multinational beverage companies.

“Our growing list of supplier awards recognises that Good Drinks is a dynamic, innovative and supportive partner to the drinks trade nationally,” McKeown said.

“We are big enough to deliver and nimble enough to lead innovation and that’s why we are being sought out as a partner and recognised for our success.”

“Our portfolio of Australian craft beer, international premium and flavour-forward RTDs and ciders competes with anything on the market, but it’s the ‘built different’ mindset that we bring to all of our partnerships that sets us apart.”
