By awarding third place in 2026, The World’s Most Admired Wine Brands jury has chosen to spotlight what it sees as the defining characteristics of Familia Torres: a centuries-old heritage, a strong international footprint and pioneering leadership in sustainability. As Drinks International notes, “few wine families have combined longevity, global reach and environmental leadership like Familia Torres”.
According to the experts, the strength of the winery lies in its ability to sustain a robust family project for more than 150 years, growing well beyond its origins in Penedès to establish a stable presence in over one hundred international markets, while at the same time emerging as one of the key drivers of sustainability in the wine sector. This includes ambitious initiatives to adapt to climate change, its commitment to regenerative viticulture and its work to recover ancestral grape varieties.
Miguel A. Torres, President of Familia Torres, comments: “It is especially meaningful for us that Drinks International highlights our role as one of the most committed advocates for sustainability and climate action in the wine industry. For many years, we have been investing decisively in renewable energy, responsible water management and the recovery and reuse of CO₂ from wine fermentation, among other initiatives, with the aim of safeguarding viticulture for future generations. This award is a powerful motivation to continue developing the Familia Torres project.”
Each year, Drinks International compiles the ranking based on a survey of around one hundred wine trade professionals from across the world. The panel is refreshed annually to ensure a fair global representation of the sector. Respondents are asked to name the five wine brands they admire most, taking into account factors such as quality and consistency, value for money and overall brand strength.

About Familia Torres
Rooted in the winegrowing tradition of Penedès since the 16th century, the Torres family established its winery in Vilafranca del Penedès in 1870, more than 150 years ago. From generation to generation, a passion for wine culture has been handed down, grounded in respect for the land and tradition and a constant drive for innovation. Today, the fifth generation focuses on wines from single vineyards and historic estates, on regenerative viticulture and on the recovery of ancestral varieties in response to climate change. Since 2008, tackling the climate emergency has been one of the family’s core priorities, through adaptation and mitigation strategies designed to reduce CO₂ emissions. With historic roots in Penedès, Conca de Barberà, Priorat and Costers del Segre, Familia Torres also owns vineyards and wineries in Spain’s leading wine regions – Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Rueda and Rías Baixas – as well as in Chile and California. The family is a member of Primum Familiae Vini, which brings together twelve of Europe’s most prestigious centuries-old wine families, and is a co-founder of International Wineries for Climate Action and the Asociación de Viticultura Regenerativa.
