Oliver Carr, Denmark’s Best Sommelier 2025: The Guest Is Always the Rock Star
It is a cold, windy March day in Copenhagen, and Sydhavnens Vinbar is exactly the right place to meet Oliver Carr. He arrives to our conversation the way, I imagine, he arrives everywhere: relaxed, thoughtful, and with no apparent desire to be the centre of attention. He is Denmark’s Best Sommelier 2025 — a title he won at Moltkes Palæ on 8 September 2025, ahead of two very strong competitors — and yet the first thing he tells me is that he entered DM mostly as training for his Master Sommelier. I am soon to find out, that it is a very Oliver Carr kind of answer.
