October 24, 2024 — On 17 November, the international wine guide Star Wine List will celebrate the best wine lists in Belgium for the second time, alongside the Best Sommelier of Belgium competition, in Ghent. The expert jury has now decided the finalists, who have been announced on starwinelist.com.
Star Wine List of the Year is a celebration of the great wine lists across the world and the teams behind them. In Belgium, prizes are awarded in nine categories, and the winners in many of those will also qualify for the International Final in June 2025. The jury, including top sommeliers Kathrine Larsen-Robert MS, Nina Jensen and Salvatore Castano, has now finished deliberating, and the finalists have been selected.
“We can’t wait to come to Belgium to celebrate with the sommeliers of these fine places – well done to all the finalists!” says Krister Bengtsson, Founder and Publisher of Star Wine List.
