Nearly a million dollars in payments for the right to 'win' the awards, plus $6k from all the ones that missed out. (would be interested to know how many actually entered)

The one that stood out on the list for me was 'Devondale Smoothies', possibly the worst flavoured milks i have ever tasted.

This is quite laughable:) If I'm looking for a good product I use Whirlpool or Choice where you get REAL info.

ACA enough said, not known for independent advice on products, if you get what I mean…

That Brown Brothers moscato/sauv Blanc is foul!

I would not be getting excited by that list.

err what? So an team of 8 (including a member of the ACA team) create an "unbiased" list for people to vote on. The brand then needs to PAY to be a finalist ($6k), and additionally pay an $18,000 fee if they're the winner. What a joke.
