John Skotnes, renowned artist, craftsman & jeweller, created the iconic trophies for the Trophy Wine Show & Trophy Spirits Show. Tragically, John passed away on 28 December. A profound loss to his family, friends & SA’s creative community. We mourn a warm, generous soul.

On Heritage Day, we celebrate SA’s rich traditions. The #InvestecTSS2025 honours our distillers’ craft—gins, whiskies, brandies & more. Here’s to a nation of flavour & pride! 🍇🥃 Cheers to @Wilderer_SA Pinotage Grappa, 1st winner of the Best Grappa Trophy! 🏆🍇

🍸SA’s keeping up with global trends. Tequila is on the rise, now overtaking gin and vodka in share of space and popularity. #InvestecTSS2025 #CelebrateExcellence

🥃 While malts get the love, 90% of whisky is blended! Grains smooth out the malts, and ageing in older wood adds subtle depth, appealing to a wider range of palates. #InvestecTSS2025 #CelebrateExcellence

While Scottish whisky offers a broader range of styles, Irish whiskey brings its own unique and interesting flavours to the table. We encourage you to try some Irish whiskey and expand your whisky world – you won’t regret it! #InvestecTSS2025 #CelebrateExcellence

Congratulations once again to Dullstroom Lemonlicious LemonGinCello for taking home the Trophy for Best Aperitif at the 2025 Trophy Spirits Show 🏆 #InvestecTSS2025 #CelebrateExcellence

Vodka’s neutrality lets us taste the carbs and feel the texture - subtle, smooth, and distinctive! 🍸 #InvestecTSS2025 #CelebrateExcellence @seangunns
