On 6 May 2018 the first ever Star Wine List of the Year was held in Stockholm, Sweden. Here are all the winners. PM & Vänner in Växjö won the main prize and three other categories.

“We are very honoured,” said Rubén Sanz Ramiro, Head Sommelier of PM & Vänner.

In total there were nine categories in Star Wine List of the Year 2018. The finalists and winners in seven of them were voted by the jury with Mischa Billing, Mark Andrew MW, Per Styregård, Erika Lindström and Krister Bengtsson.
One category was voted for by the readers of Star Wine List and one category was voted for by sommeliers.

“Have to say, the overall standard was seriously impressive,” said jury member Mark Andrew, MW and founder of Noble Rot Magazine & Wine Bar.
