The independent family-owned retailer beat stiff competition from Aldi, Co-op, Sainsbury’s and Waitrose to win the top award as well as winning individual awards for their Booths’ brand wines.
The People’s Choice Awards reflect consumer tastes and choices and the playfully-named award categories are designed to fit alongside people’s lifestyle choices.

It was the second award for the retailer in the space of a few days, after being named the Spirits Supermarket of the Year at the International Wines and Spirits competition.
Victoria Anderson, Booths Wine Buyer said: “This is an extra special award for Booths as it’s a vote from our biggest critics, our customers.
"As a small independent retailer up against such big competition, it’s humbling to be recognised by those that matter most.
