Daróg Finalists at the Star Wine List International Final

Written By Darog Wine Bar

Today, we join finalists from all over the globe for Star Wine List’s International Final taking place in Vienna.

In October 2024, we were awarded a Gold Star for ‘Best Sustainable Wine List’ in Ireland. The Best Sustainable Wine List recognises a wine list that has put extra emphasis on the wine programme’s overall impact, including vine growing, winemaking, packaging and transport. 

Today, we stand among this year’s international finalists — proud to represent our approach, and the growers we work with who care deeply for the land they farm. Read more about our approach to sustainability here.

What the judges said:
“Although Ireland is not a wine-producing country, this place has managed to ‘support local’ in a very special way: by featuring the importer's name on the wine list. The selection is diverse, with an emphasis on promoting smaller wineries, and sustainable, biodynamic and organic farming wines. Plus, the daily operation is very environmentally friendly too. Well done!”
– Reeze Choi, 2024

Star Wine List of the Year is the prestigious award recognising the best wine bars and restaurants worldwide. This grand final marks the culmination of the Star Wine List World Tour 2024–2025.
