Phone: 411300
Address: Í Gongin 8, 100 Tórshavn, Faroe Islands
Best Medium-Sized List of the Year Denmark, presented by Premium Estates of Austria 2025
Ræst is a small and intimate restaurant in the heart of Tórshavn, deeply rooted in the flavours of the Faroe Islands. The menu emphasises both local fermentation traditions and the exceptionally fresh fish and shellfish found around the islands – and the wine list follows suit.

One thing to note is the wide selection of DRC. Beyond the French wines, you’ll also find classic, full-b...

Phone: 38 42 42 40
Address: Istedgade 128, København V
Best Short List of the Year Denmark 2025
Grimal is a traditional bistro, where you can find traditional French food, many different snacks and a cosy, easy-going atmosphere. There is room at the bar for eating or having a drink while waiting for a table, and tables outside that would are the preferred places to sit in summer. The wine list has a focus on the French wines, with Burgundy, the Loire and Jura as the main players.

The vintages are mainly from the past five years, with a sprinkling of older wines.

![Interior of Champagnekælderen wine bar, Copenhagen, Denmark.]()
Address: Nørre Søgade 21, København
Sparkling Wine List of the Year Denmark 2025
Close by the lakes of Copenhagen, you’ll find this focused wine bar where Champagne is the thing to drink. As the name suggests, it’s located in a basement (“kælder” in Danish). The atmosphere is cosy and down to earth, with dimmed lights made from Champagne bottles and a Champagne wall featuring bottles “to go”. The space is used efficiently to fit many tables, and at the high tops you may end up seated close to other guests – but this doesn’t matter much, as the acoustics are well designed, making it easy to hold a conversation. At the back, there’s a larger table suitable for groups. The...
