Leading the list of winners was Pappas Bros Steakhouse, with the Houston, Texas, restaurant picking up both Best Long Wine List and the Wine List of the Year awards, while Park Hotel Vossevangen in Norway beat off strong competition from previous Wine List of the Year-winners to take The Champions’ League Best Overall Wine List 2024 and The Champions’ League Wine-by-the-Glass List 2024.
The two headline wins contributed to a strong World’s Best Wine Lists 2024 performance for both the USA and Norway, with the USA picking up 11 awards on the night, and Vino Bar in Ålesund, global victor in the Best Wine Bar List category, adding to Park Hotel Vossevangen’s two Champions’ League awards.
