Jul22493 21. Livets Goda is a world leading gastronomy magazine and digital platform with a focus on wine, spirits, and exceptional food. For over two decades, the publication has produced a wide array of content including everything from wine reviews and tasting notes to the latest insights on the wine and spirits industry. In the wake of its win, we speak to Livets Goda about the company’s passion for gastronomy, wine, and lust for life. Livets Goda, which translates as ‘The Good Life’, is a Sweden publication that has attracted connoisseurs and winemakers from around the world who share a love for good food and drink. Its clients include wine enthusiasts, foodies, professionals in the restaurant industries, and anyone interested in learning more about the art of wine and gastronomy. The internationally acclaimed magazine has previously been named the World’s Best Wine Magazine by the International Gourmand Awards and is often used as educational material in sommelier schools. Driven by values of authenticity and quality, it is Livets Goda’s mission to educate, inspire, and entertain audiences with informative and insightful content. Livets Goda shares, “At Livets Goda, we produce high-quality content such as articles, reviews, interviews, and photos covering various aspects of wine, spirits, and gastronomy. Winemakers often come to visit our editorial office. We believe that onsite visits for the winemakers are of great importance. We also spend a lot of time traveling to wine countries. Trips are always financed by us to ensure we remain 100% independent, something that is rare today.” Livets Goda offers its readers daily tasting notes from a carefully curated list of quality wines, spirits, and food combinations. The publication provides recommendations on the best places to eat and drink via its restaurant guide ‘Sweden’s Best Restaurants’. Furthermore, Livets Goda organises tastings for readers and customers and engaging events where audiences can learn more about wine and gastronomy from the team and recognised winemakers. Community involvement is particularly important to the company, which has built a community of likeminded individuals who share their passion for food and drink through the magazine, website, social media, and newsletters. Livets Goda affectionately refers to its community as the Livets Goda Family. Livets Goda boasts a team of talented writers, editors, and staff with deep knowledge and insight into the world of wine, spirits, and gastronomy. The team is dedicated to curating the best selection of current wines and spirits and completing comprehensive research to ensure that its recommendations are of the highest standard. Livets Goda prides itself on the authenticity of its content, striving to build meaningful relationships with audiences based on integrity and transparency. The leading publisher goes beyond content to deliver exceptional events such as exclusive events and tastings in collaboration with renowned winemakers and restaurants. These unique opportunities provide further value to readers and allow them to buy elite wines and spirits that are otherwise unavailable for purchase. Livets Goda invites audiences to discover the dynamic world of wine and gastronomy, encouraging exploration beyond their firm favourites and established brands. In Scandinavia, there is a growing interest in wines produced locally, in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway, where winemakers continue to experiment with cold climate cultivation and indigenous grape varieties. As appreciation for wine increases in Sweden, new wine bars are being established with many different specialisations. Livets Goda says, “At Livets Goda, we monitor the wine bars and appoint a Wine Bar of the Year. We stay on top of trends through a combination of industry expertise, market research, and engagement with our audience. We also collaborate and have good contacts with wine experts, sommeliers, and restaurant professionals to gather insights and identify emerging trends. Livets Goda is considered a trendsetter in the wine industry due to its influence, innovation, and ability to anticipate and shape consumer preferences and industry development.” Livets Goda is committed to continuous improvement, refining its images and content to remain at the forefront of digital publications. Over 2024, the business has continued to expand its reach with international collaborations such as with Zinio, the world’s largest distributor of digital magazines. Additionally, Livets Goda is currently working on a new app which will make it easier for customers to discover the latest premier wines and spirits. For over twenty years, Livets Goda has remained unwavering in its values of quality, authenticity, and passion for exceptional food and drink. From wine connoisseurs to avid novices, the publication offers something for everyone with its captivating content and invaluable industry insights. We are excited to announce that Livets Goda has won our award for Best Wine Publication 2024 and look forward to following its journey for many years to come.
