Cinque Wine & Deli has been shortlisted in the ACQ5 Global Awards 2026 after receiving the highest number of peer nominations during the programme’s official voting period.

The ACQ5 Global Awards collect evaluations from professionals across international markets, assessing organisations on expertise, professionalism, responsiveness and overall service quality. Only nominees achieving an average rating of four stars or above advance to the shortlist.

The result positions Cinque among a limited group of hospitality concepts recognised by the industry itself.

A Contemporary Expression of Greek Wine Hospitality

Operating from Athens, Cinque Wine & Deli has developed a format that blends wine retail, guided tastings and cultural interpretation within a carefully designed service environment.

Its approach emphasises accessibility without simplification, combining curated portfolios with structured hospitality practices. This balance has allowed the brand to appeal both to experienced wine audiences and to travellers discovering Greek vineyards for the first time.

Structure Behind the Experience

While the atmosphere presented to guests is relaxed and personal, professionals often point to the operational backbone that supports it. Training methodology, product selection, service flow and brand coherence form a system that ensures consistency without sacrificing individuality.

Such characteristics are increasingly valued in an international environment where reliability and identity must coexist.

A Moment of External Validation

Being included in the ACQ5 shortlist is regarded by observers as recognition of long-term commitment rather than short-term visibility. It reflects sustained attention to quality, team development and producer relationships.

For Cinque, the distinction reinforces its reputation as one of the emerging reference points of modern Greek wine hospitality.
