Top 6 Award-Winning Wine Bars From Around The World – Moncharm Fine Wine Merchants
Differing by thousands of miles in location, style, and offerings, this collection of the best wine bars from around the world have one thing in common: fine wine excellence.
From the quality of wine available, to the service provided and the surrounding atmosphere, each best wine bar provides a unique yet outstanding drinking experience that is guaranteed to impress even the most pretentious of wine lovers – regardless of the continent they’re on!
Without further ado, here are our favourite 6 fine wine bars from around the world.
It takes pride in having something to offer every customer of every style. Rudyard Kipling was a famed patron, and is the one who wrote “The Light That Failed” in the room above the bar. Many other famous writers continue to frequent and enjoy the bar’s offerings.
Run by Dustin Lancaster and Matthew Kaner (named Sommelier of the Year 2013 by Food & Wine), the bar offers 150 unique wines by the glass (and no wine list), with food to accompany. It was listed one of America’s top 100 wine bars.
If choosing to imbibe at the bar, there is a delectable menu of a constantly changing two course dinner with share plates and tasters throughout the day. Owned by friends John Tennent and Tom Hogan (previously Sommelier at Lake House and Langton’s), the bar is family-themed.
The partners seek to promote wine’s three (equally important) tasks: be delicious, cause and accompany celebration, and dig deeper into the story behind each fine wine label. With a focus on the “behind the scenes” of fine wine labels (producers, regions, and grapes used to make the wine), this bar is truly a wine lover’s paradise.
With a room specifically dedicated to wine glassmaker Riedel (the only such room in the world), the bar offers over 100 different types of glassware for wine enjoyment. Located at the luxurious JW Marriott and open for both lunch and dinner, the Riedel Room requires reservations in advance.
With over 250 wines available for ordering by the glass, Belthazer surely has something to please every palate. Both the food and the wines are highly awarded, including the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence (for 3 years in a row) and the American Express Fine Dining Selection award.
