Palais Coburg – Silvio Nickol has Austria's Best Sparkling Wine List 2022

Palais Coburg's Wolfgang Kneidinger with Star Wine List's Liora Levi and Krister Bengtsson.

Palais Coburg – Silvio Nickol in Vienna won the category Best Sparkling Wine List when Star Wine List of the Year Austria 2022 was celebrated on May 23.

"Palais Coburg – Silvio Nickol has an amazing selection of sparkling wines. I loved the verticals from many great Champagne producers, with some rare gems here and there," says jury member Salvatore Castano, Best Sommelier of Europe and Africa 2021.

In 2021, Palais Coburg – Silvio Nickol won the Grand Prix category both in Austria and in the International Final.

The winners of Star Wine List of the Year 2022 were revealed by Star Wine List's founder Krister Bengtsson and Ambassador Manager Liora Levi during a live event in Vienna on May 23. The event was held together with Dorli Muhr and her PR agency Wine+Partners, who were hosting their annual "Christmas party" the same night.

This was the second time the awards were held for Austria, and the first time we were doing it live. Last year's Star Wine List of the Year Austria was a purely online event.

For the Star Wine List of the Year awards in Austria, Star Wine List was also happy to partner with the website and sommelier community Kalk & Kegel.

The silver medalists in the sparkling category were:
Die Weinbank, Ehrenhausen
Döllerer, Golling
Griggeler Stuba im Burg Vital Resort, Lech
Heunisch & Erben, Vienna
The Ritz-Carlton, Vienna
