Birmingham restaurant serves the best wine in the world - it’s official!

What a wine-derful accolade.

One of the world’s most trusted sources of information for wine connoisseurs has recognised a Birmingham restaurant as having one of the best wine lists across the globe.

Adam’s, on Waterloo Street in the city centre, has received a glowing Three Star accolade from The World of Fine Wine - the highest rating possible awarded to just 48 other restaurants.

The publication’s Star Award list is described as ‘the first awards program to acknowledge the crucial importance of a good wine selection—regardless of size—in the modern dining experience all round the world’ - with a Three-Star rating the highest Star Award available.

According to judges, those who receive Three-Stars display ‘clear evidence of commitment over the long term, genuine passion, a guiding intelligence, and real vision’.

What is so special about the wine at Adam’s?

Adam’s, run by Adam and Natasha Stokes, has a cellar consisting of modern and vintage wines sourced from across the globe.

There’s a selection of Champagne and sparking wines including a Rose, Harrow & Hope from Marlow in Buckinghamshire.

The white wine list includes a Riesling, Berg Schlossberg GG Grand Cru from Rheingau Germany.

Red wines include wines from Germany, Australia, Greece, South Africa, the USA, France and Italy.

This is the first time Adam’s has appeared in the World of Fine Wine list and comes just days after the restaurant was recognised by the AA in its Notable Wine List.

What have Adam’s said about the global accolade?

Adam Stokes said: “A top-tier wine list is crucial to the fine-dining experience and we put a lot of time and effort into ensuring that our cellar perfectly complements the dishes we serve our guests.

“We’re delighted to have been recognised by The World of Fine Wine for our wine menu - we are constantly striving to make sure we have the best possible selection.”

Adam’s will be hosting its first ever New Year’s Eve dining experience on December 31st, featuring a luxurious nine-course tasting menu put together by new Head Chef, James Goodyear. There are three seatings available, with bookings now open through Adam’s website.
