The 2025 description puts its price under $35. The full winner list, the award categories, and the selection method could not be verified, so this article separates what the coverage establishes from what remains open.
What the 2025 coverage confirms about IBest Wines
The only entry described in the accessible 2025 text is IBest Wines’ White Blend. The excerpt is credited to Stacia Datskovska and was reproduced on a secondary page dated September 30, 2025. That secondary page is not an official Rolling Stone awards record, so the details below should be read as reported in that 2025 excerpt rather than as a confirmed Rolling Stone listing.

The Red Blend and the “hero offerings”
The same excerpt says IBest Wines sells two “hero offerings”: the White Blend and a Red Blend. The Red Blend is mentioned, but the accessible text does not describe it as an award selection. Treat it as a product the producer sells, not as a Rolling Stone winner, unless the original article names it.
What remains unestablished
- The complete award list. Only one entry from Rolling Stone’s 2025 alcohol, liquor, and beverage coverage has been confirmed. Other winners in the series are not known from the accessible material.
- Categories and selection criteria. How winners were chosen, which categories applied, and whether any scoring or judging panel was involved are not established.
- The separate spirits article. A search result points to a Rolling Stone piece titled “The 2025 Rolling Stone Spirit Awards,” but its contents could not be checked, so it is unknown whether it lists additional wines or spirits.
- Current availability. No current retailer, stock level, or shipping option has been confirmed for the White Blend.
- Quotations. No verified quotation from a judge, editor, or the producer is available from the accessible material.
How to check the full award coverage
- Search Rolling Stone’s website for “2025 Rolling Stone Spirit Awards” and for its 2025 coverage of wine and spirits, then open the original article rather than a reproduction.
- Compare the original entry for IBest Wines White Blend against the details in the table above: grape source, grape blend, and price. Note any differences, since the original may state figures differently.
- Check whether the original names the Red Blend as an award selection. If it does not, do not list it as a winner.
- Look for the publication date on the original article and any price date beside it. A 2025 price should not be assumed to apply in 2026.
- If you intend to buy the wine, confirm the current price, stock, and shipping eligibility directly with a retailer.
Until the original article is checked, the accurate statement is narrower than the title suggests: one confirmed 2025 entry, with the rest of the award list still unverified.
