August 1, 2024 – On 2 September, the international wine guide Star Wine List will celebrate the great wine lists of Denmark for the fifth time. The expert jury has now decided on the finalists.
Star Wine List of the Year is the celebration of the great wine lists in the world and the teams behind them. In Denmark, the prize is awarded in eleven categories, and the winners in several of the categories will also qualify for the International Final in June 2025. The jury is done deliberating, and the finalists have been selected.
“The range and quality of wine programs in Denmark is more impressive than ever, from small natural wine bars to some of the best fine dining restaurants in the World. We can’t wait to go back to Copenhagen to celebrate with these finalists in September,” said Krister Bengtsson, founder and publisher.
