Wine List of the Year Norway / Norges Beste Vinkart – 24 Sept – save the date

On September 24 we will return to Norway to celebrate the best wine lists and the teams behind them for the fourth time, together with Norges Beste Vinkart.

Norway will be our second stop on our 2023-2024 International tour, and this is the fourth time we are running it in Norway. The event is a collaboration between Star Wine List, Norsk Vinkelnerforening and Kapital, and will take place at Bristol Hotel in Oslo on Sunday September 24.

Save the date September 24.

Last day to enter was Sunday August 6. All is free of charge.

The jury for the event is filled with top wine professionals:
• Francesco Marzola
• Rune Rake
• Ole Edvard Berg
• Heidi Mäkinen MW
• Piotr Pietras MS

Categories and criteria

Star Wine List judges the wine lists in several categories such as the Best Sparkling Wine List and Best By the Glass List. These categories are the same across all of the awards. In addition, local categories may be added. We have commercial partners for certain categories, such as the Best Austrian Wine List, presented by Austrian Wine. The commercial partners are, however, never involved in the selections of finalists or winners — that is completely up to our independent jury panel.

The criteria for the jury are straightforward but not simple: Vote for the most exciting wine list representing the category.

The winners in the international categories will qualify for our International Final in June 2024, where they will face off with the category winners from other countries and continents.
