Sweden’s Best Wine Lists: On 8 May 2023, Star Wine List celebrated the best wine lists in Sweden — for the fifth time. The celebration is a part of their international tour and the winners in the international categories in Sweden will compete against the winners from many other countries in the international final in June 2023. Here are all the winners!
“After studying a large amount of Swedish wine lists, it is striking what a high level the Swedish sommelier corps maintains. Today’s wine lists breathe great professional experience and knowledge in both theory and practice and the lists match well with the restaurant’s menu,” says jury member Mischa Billing.
The first Swedish Star Wine List celebration took place in 2018. Five years later, Star Wine List and Sweden’s best sommelier teams once again gathered in Stockholm. The awards was celebrated at Skyddsrummet, Söder Mälarstrand in central Stockholm on 8 May.
The event was judged by a line-up of judges: Mischa Billing, Rajat Parr, Heidi Mäkinen MW, and Paz Levinson.
Categories and criteria
The jury has evaluated 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 international events. In addition, local categories have been added for Sweden.
The criteria for the jury are straightforward but not simple: Vote for the most exciting wine list representing the category.
