These are the 15 finalists in the ‘Wine Bar of the Year 2023’ competition

For the eighth time, the award for the best Wine Bar of the Year will be presented this year. As far as we’re concerned, it’s one of the best competitions of the year – especially since we’ve been part of the professional jury for eight years and therefore have to visit all the nominated wine bars. What a terrible job, heh-heh. Out of more than 150 participating wine bars, these are the 15 finalists in the ‘Wine Bar of the Year 2023’ competition.

The fact that you can enjoy spending time in a wine bar anywhere in the Netherlands is clear; the nominated wine bars are located throughout the country.
