Wine bar of the year is
Willi Schlögl and Johannes Schellhorn – Weinbar Freundschaft, Berlin.
Absolutely cult! Bar Freundschaft wins the Fair Wine Hospitality Award. Denis gave a witty laudatory speech for the winner DIE FREUNDSCHAFT.
With Der Freundschaft, Willi Schlögl and Johannes Schellhorn have created a place that radiates far beyond Berlin into the German wine landscape.
Bar Freundschaft is a cult venue. From 5 p.m., a colorful crowd from the start-up scene, the English-speaking creative scene from Berlin-Mitte, managers, wine freaks or just normal people meet there for a glass of wine – or often more.
Willi Schlögl and Johannes Schellhorn manage to convey wine in an unpretentious, humorous, passionate and knowledgeable way. They set accents, highlight new things, give unknown winegrowers a stage and – this is one of the main reasons – show new grape varieties and wine styles.
Your orientation is you! They are two charismatic “guys” who live and breathe wine. Creative, fresh and cheeky! They are simply good for the wine industry and its future challenges!
