Palais Coburg – Silvio Nickol in Austria won International Grand Prix 2021
Palais Coburg – Silvio Nickol has the best international wine list overall. The restaurant won the prestigious International Grand Prix category in the first ever Star Wine List of the Year International, presented by Austrian Wine.
”Its an honour for us and it shows us that we are on the right track. We have a phenomenal sommelier team and have been lucky enough to have worked with great sommeliers in previous years. Without them, this wouldn't be possible,” says Head Sommelier Wolfgang Kneidinger and sommelier Thomas Juranitsch.
”We strive to have the best wines, without focusing on specific wineries or trends. And we try to offer an extensive vintage range, without rushing to add them to our wine list.”
Jury member Arvid Rosengren says:
”Every finalist is absolutely world-class, but the jury was in complete agreement here. This place is a temple of wine, and they go wide across the globe, presenting the best wines the world has to offer, still at a fair price point. It is just a beautiful wine list.”
Star Wine List of the Year International was held online and awarded the best wine lists from all our local competitions from our first international tour, held during 2020 and 2021. Did you miss the event? Then you can watch online now on our Facebook page!
