The Best Medium-Sized List in Belgium 2024 goes to Fine Fleur
Antwerp’s Fine Fleur has received a Gold Star for the Best Medium-Sized List in Belgium at the Star Wine List of the Year Awards.
At a ceremony held in Ghent during the Best Sommelier of Belgium competition, the Antwerp restaurant was named the winner of Best Medium-Sized List in the country.
The Gold Star was presented by Antoine Lehebel from Le Wine, who sponsored the category.
Judge Kathrine Larsen-Robert MS praised Fine Fleur’s “well-curated range of wines, from everyday essentials to unique finds,” which she said strikes “the perfect balance between quality and affordability.
“With a diverse selection and competitive pricing, this list stands out as a reliable choice for both casual drinkers and wine enthusiasts alike, making it well deserving of top recognition.”

Categories and criteria
Star Wine List judges the wine lists in several categories such as the Best Sparkling Wine List and Best By the Glass List. These categories are the same across all of the awards. In addition, local categories may be added. We have commercial partners for certain categories, such as the Best Austrian Wine List, presented by Austrian Wine. The commercial partners are, however, never involved in the selections of finalists or winners — that is completely up to our independent jury panel.
The criteria for the jury are straightforward but not simple: vote for the most exciting wine list representing the category.
The winners in the international categories will qualify for our International Final in June 2025, where they will face off with the category winners from other countries and continents.
