The prize, Star Wine List of the Year, is a celebration of the wine lists in the world, and the hard work by the sommeliers. In the Netherlands, the prize is awarded in five categories, and the winners of all categories in the Netherlands will also qualify for the Global Final in Vienna in May 2021.
