Spirito di Vino 2022

The annual Spirito di Vino competition announced winners for the 2022 Best Wine Cartoons at the beginning of December. Italy’s Movimento Turismo del Vino Friuli Venezia Giulia organizes this international awards event, and more information can be found on their website here.

Many of last year’s entries featured satirical themes surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, and this year many of the cartoons presented anti-war messages. 

Wishing our readers good cheer and a happy new year, we are pleased to present a selection of the 2022 Spirito di Vino cartoon submissions.
