“This is probably the greatest collection of wine lists I have ever seen,” said jury member Rajat Parr.
Star Wine List of the Year is the celebration of the great wine lists in the world and the teams behind them. In Sweden, the prize is awarded in fourteen categories, and the winner in several categories will also qualify for the International Final in June 2024. The jury is done deliberating, and the finalists have been selected.
“It is the sixth time we are celebrating the wine lists in Sweden and the great teams behind them and we are happy to have such a strong showing. This year we have also introduced a few new categories including the Best Beaujolais List and Best Bourgogne List – both gathering many strong finalists. We can’t wait to celebrate with all the finalists in Stockholm in April,” said Krister Bengtsson, founder and publisher of Star Wine List.
