The 95th Oscars Wines
Let's explore what was served to the guests of the world's most prestigious film industry award in 2023.
The first Oscars were held in 1929. It was a private dinner for 270 people only. Since then, the award has been held yearly and gathered more and more people around.
As befits an event of such significance, only the best wines and champagnes are served to the guests. The chef prepares the aperitif list and arranges the event menu meticulously, choosing only the best ingredients.
In 2023, the list of the 95th Oscars Award Ceremony aperitifs was helmed by chef Wolfgang Puck. Puck was a veteran Oscars chef who had been preparing a menu for the 29th Oscars.
