Star Wine List of the Year Austria 2022 – all the finalists
On May 23 we return to Austria with our Star Wine List of the Year celebration, during the last day of Vievinum. The jury is done deliberating – here are all the finalists!
The winners of Star Wine List of the Year 2022 will be revealed during a live event in Vienna on May 23. It will be held with Dorli Muhr and her PR agency Wine+Partners, who are hosting their annual "Christmas party" there the same night.
This is the second time the awards are held for Austria, and the first time we are doing it live. Last year's Star Wine List of the Year Austria was a purely online event.
"The wine world gathers in Vienna for VieVinum and we are very happy to be back and to celebrate the great lists of Austria, and the teams behind them. The average scores by the jury were really very high and the Austrians can rightly be proud of their wine selections. I look forward to meeting all the finalists in Vienna, and to raise a glass with you all!" says Krister Bengtsson, Star Wine List's founder.
Krister Bengtsson and Star Wine List's Ambassador Manager Liora Levi will announce the winners at the event, together with partners.
For the Star Wine List of the Year awards in Austria, Star Wine List is also happy to partner with the website and sommelier community Kalk & Kegel.
