Hill & Szrok has the best Short List in the UK 2021

Hill & Szrok won the Best Short List category in this years' UK Star Wine List of the Year. The category recognizes the best wine list with fewer than 250 listings.

”This is my favourite category to judge. To build a smart wine list of this size, where every wine lover will find something to drink at a reasonable price, is a real challenge. The level was very high among all the finalists. Hill & Szrok has a more natural path, but a very mature take on it, where they don't forget the classics. A very good balance, and to find wines like this for these prices is just fantastic,” says jury member Pascaline Lepeltier about the winning list.

By winning the Best Short List category, Hill & Szrok is qualified to the Global Final, where the best wine lists in the world will be crowned.

The silver medalists in the Short List category are:
28°-50° Marylebone
Brat
Leroy
Portland
Sager + Wilde Hackney Rd
