Star Wine List launches Inspiration Day with Jancis Robinson
Star Wine List is proud to present its inaugural Inspiration Day. This first event will be held in Stockholm, featuring world-renowned wine writer and Master of Wine Jancis Robinson. Sweden’s first Master Sommelier, Andreas Rosendal, will also teach the art of blind tasting. Email subscribers will be notified first when tickets are released, so stay tuned for your chance to join us.
Star Wine List, often referred to as the Michelin guide for wine, has designed an inspiring day to gather the Swedish wine community for the chance to learn, taste and network.
Tickets will soon be released for the first Inspiration Day, which will be held in Stockholm on 10 November 2025. This exciting new event will offer sommeliers, trade professionals, wine students and wine lovers the opportunity to sample incredible wines and learn from some of the most knowledgeable people in the wine industry today.
Jancis Robinson MW, one of the world’s foremost wine writers, is this year celebrating 50 years in wine and 25 years of JancisRobinson.com. She will share her story and thoughts about the wine world, on stage.
“I’m very much looking forward to catching up with Stockholm and the Swedish wine scene after all these years,” Jancis says.
“When we started planning our first Inspiration Day, we created a list of some of the most inspiring names in the world of wine,” says Krister Bengtsson, Founder and Publisher of Star Wine List. “Jancis Robinson was the first name on that list and we are thrilled that she will join us in Stockholm.”
Star Wine List’s Inspiration Day will constitute “two parallel tracks,” according to Krister. One portion of the day will be the continuous walk-around tasting – a chance to experience some great wines, network, and catch up with friends. The other comes courtesy of the inspiring people who will appear on stage, offering their insights into wine, the broader wine industry and, of course, the crucial art of wine list creation.
“We can't wait to share this day with sommeliers, trade, students and wine lovers in Sweden,” Krister continues.
