Star Wine List of the Year Denmark 2021 – all the winners
On 13 September Star Wine List crowned the best wine lists in Denmark. Geranium was the big winner, with Gold Stars in three out of the seven categories – Grand Prix, Austrian Wine List and Sparkling Wine List.
"A great old world selection, an amazing Champagne list, fine wines from California, beer, cider, and rarities," says jury member Raimonds Tomsons, Best Sommelier of Europe 2017, about Geranium's winning list.
