In this competition, unfortunately, Serbia has not recorded a good result as in 2008 in Sofia, but we are proud of our competitors, because the 3 greatest favorites entered finals : French Representative David Biraud, Chef Sommelier at the restaurant ”Les Ambasadeurs” at the Hotel Crillon in Paris, Switzerland’s Paolo Basso, director of this year, ”VinnieCeresio”  from Lugano and Mateo Ghiringhelli from Italy, Chef Sommelier at the restaurant ”II Vino d ‘Enrico Bernardo” in Paris.
