Naked Wines Australia, a leading supporter of independent Australian winemakers, has been recognised at the 2015 StarTrack Online Retail Industry Awards (ORIAS) gala at Dockside Pavilion in Sydney’s Darling Harbour.
Among the evening’s top winners, Naked Wines Australia, a crowd-funded business, took home the inaugural StarTrack ORIAS People’s Choice Award.
The introduction of the People’s Choice category saw thousands of online shoppers nationwide vote for their favourite online store. Thousands of nominations were received and six diverse finalists were shortlisted, before Naked Wines Australia was crowned the winner.
Luke Jecks, CEO Naked Wines International, said their customers directly supported independent winemakers in return for exclusive wines at wholesale prices. The business currently delivers product to customers from more than 20 local winemakers across the country.
“The People’s Choice Award is the only StarTrack ORIAS category where Australian customers have the opportunity to decide who deserves to win and, for us, it’s the most important one by a long way,” Jecks said.
