The Best Wine Bars in Vienna
Coburg's wine book is rightly an urban legend: Thousands and thousands of bottles are stored in six historic wine cellars. From classic Veltliner to the best champagnes and rare Bordeaux, everything that makes the vinophile's heart beat faster is in stock.
If you want to broaden your wine horizons, this is the place for you. Even connoisseurs will be surprised by the bottles - some of which are really only single examples - from the duo Robert Brandhofer and Markus Gould. The cuisine is excellent, from the meat loaf to the menu. Great wine cinema.
Hermann Botolen is not only an excellent sommelier, but also knows a thing or two about fine spirits. You can experience all of this for yourself in the cosy bar. If you are overwhelmed by the extensive selection, the owner will be happy to help and advise you.
Although you enter the bar at ground level and there is already a wide range of wines on offer, it is worth making a detour downstairs: Not only are the shop and "treasure chamber" a paradise for vinophiles, they also function as a walk-in wine list for "upstairs".
When it comes to the cuisine (excellent!), the motto is "no foams, no jellies". When it comes to wine, however, Matthias Pitra and Steve Breitzke love the full range. There are no dogmas, as long as the knowledgeable pair of owners think a bottle is good. The public loves it. Unique.
There is no true vinophile in Vienna who has never been to a vintage tasting at the Fifth. The collection built up over the years makes such evenings possible. A spontaneous glass (which is never enough anyway) is also possible, and reliable pasta of the day is always waiting.
An ideal place for a stroll: a changing selection of open wines in a quiet yet central location, accompanied by suitable snacks. A bottle or two can be stocked up to take home, after which you can head back to the "Mahü" shops.
As energetic as ever, Friso Schopper devotes his energy to the search for new champagnes. The large selection, deliberately away from the mainstream, makes the address on the Fleischmarkt indispensable. And style is also the order of the day when it comes to the "base" - or Friso style!
Vienna's natural wine lovers have had their paradise here for ten years: In a stylish industrial ambience and with the usual famous Filippou signature on the plate, everything that the world of winegrowers has to offer, both established and new and hip, is brought out of the coolers.
At Beisl 2.0, the Austrian classics are sometimes turned inside out and the wines also move skilfully from local standards to new additions to the winemaking scene. The result is a selection of wines from yesterday, today and tomorrow that leaves nothing to be desired.
Perfect for a stopover before, after or during an enjoyable stroll through the market: the selection by the glass changes frequently and offers international flavours along with fine snacks. The shop then takes care of stocking the wine rack at home.
Shopping, gastronomy and further education on two floors: the wine shelves are full to bursting and provide supplies for at home, a comprehensive selection of open bottles is waiting to be tasted and wine knowledge is deepened in the context of themed tastings and wine ABCs.
A fixed star in the Viennese wine and bar scene for decades! The curved shelves are as full as ever with fine wines from all over the world, the atmosphere is informal, the service is helpful and the small, fine selection of snacks is delicious.
The Champagne Salon brings plenty of French savoir-vivre to the glass. With over 200 bottles, it offers one of the largest selections in the country, including exclusive rarities and vintages. The experience is accompanied by matching gourmet specialities such as oysters and caviar.
Imogen and Stefan Friedenreich have put together around 500 selected top Austrian and international wines on the menu. In addition to big names, there are also vividly impressive new discoveries. Many of the rarities can even be savoured by the glass.
The evergreen of Viennese wine bars is charming and cosy every evening, with top Austrian winemakers and a handful of Italian-French colleagues - like the display case filled with delicacies - making it a pleasure to stay a little longer.
On two floors opposite the main university, everything that has a name in the world of wine is on sale, with delicacies and rarities also on the programme. On-site tasting and feasting: a wide variety of open wines and fine gastronomic accompaniment.
The stylish interior alone is evidence of fine flavour antennas, so it's no wonder that the shelves are stocked with everything that has (or should have) a name in the natural wine world. The kitchen ensures that you won't want to leave.
You don't always have to reinvent the wheel: in the stylish industrial ambience, uncomplicated cuisine meets genuine vinophilia. The delicious Neapolitan pizza is one pillar, the wine list, curated with taste, flair and considerable expertise, is the other.
A world of exquisite delicacies extends over three floors in the magnificent Palais - from the finest foods to exclusive delicacies. The lift takes you up to the second floor to the elegant wine bar, where exquisite wines and all kinds of flint treats await.
