Danish and Finnish somms - time to enter your wine lists!
Star Wine List of the Year is back for a new international tour and our first stops are in the Nordics: Finland 6 September and Denmark 13 September. Sommeliers, make sure to enter your wine lists on time!
Star Wine List of the Year is our way of recognizing the top wine lists and the teams behind them. In Finland and Denmark, we team up with the Danish and Finnish sommelier associations to present our awards during their national sommelier championships. After the terrible last 18 months, we can’t wait to meet in person and celebrate better times together.
How to enter
All wine bars and restaurants that are listed by Star Wine List are automatically entered, free of charge, if we have an updated wine list. (Check your page on the site or app). All other venues are welcome to submit their list, free of charge, to our email address: wine@starwinelist.com. Be sure to include information about the team and venue.
