Beb Wine Company Ltd has won the 2026 People’s Quality Choice Award for the best alcoholic fermented beverage brand in Uganda, marking the third consecutive year the Lira-based manufacturer has received the accolade.
Jimmy Alex Okello, the company’s general manager, announced that Bebwine will receive the award during a ceremony scheduled for November 17, 2026, at Imperial Royal Hotel in Kampala.
Okello said the company has won the award consecutively since 2024 following an annual survey conducted by 10 GSI Ltd to assess consumers’ opinions, perceptions, and expectations regarding products and services.
Speaking on Friday, September 11, at A-Z Hotel in Lira City, Biron Moro Otimkica, the company’s sales and marketing manager, said Beb Wine commands about 80% of the wine market in Northern Uganda.
Otimkica said the company’s products are certified by the Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS), which he said assures consumers of their quality, safety, and consistency.
He said the latest award has boosted the company’s sales and marketing drive, with management targeting double-digit growth in sales and production volumes, while also seeking to expand into other parts of Uganda and deepen its presence in the wider East African market.
Sam Brunos Aliga, chairperson of the Beb Wine Company Ltd Awards 2026 committee, said the People’s Choice Award is based on votes from consumers who selected the company’s products for their quality, taste and freshness.
Aliga said Beb Wine products have expanded their market beyond Uganda into neighbouring countries, including South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, and Tanzania. He also commended the media for supporting and promoting the awards.
Ben Boniface Olanya, Secretary for Finance, Planning and Economic Development in Lira City West Division, praised Beb Wine Company for its contribution to local economic development.
Olanya said the company employs more than 500 permanent and casual workers and has maintained tax compliance. He said Beb Wine’s repeated award wins have also enhanced Lira’s profile and urged the company to consider establishing another factory in Lira City West, where he said land is available.
Beb Wine Company’s factory is located at Bar-Onger Go-down in the Railways industrial area of Lira City East Division. The company manufactures Beb Mixed Alcoholic Fermented, Beb Big Men, and Beb Alcoholic Fermented beverages under the slogan “A Taste of Memory” and has more than 10 branches across the country.
