Wine Bars


The rise (and rise) of the moody, European-inspired wine bar has taken hold of our little city. You just need to know exactly where to look. If vino love is your weakness, succumb to one of these hot little lairs.

1
 
Bambini Wine Room
Sydney
Sexy reds and uber whites await here, and most of them are sourced from vineyards across Australia, New Zealand, Italy and France. Credit card permitting, order up a bottle of 1999 Domain Remy Jobard Monthelie Premiere Cru (currently priced at $130). For sustenance while sipping, turn to a plate of olives, meatballs, calamari or oysters.

Aperitif
Potts Point
Stemless Reidel O glasses are the gorgeous vessels that hold your wine here. Order up a 2004 Telmo Rodriguez LZ tempranillo and feast your eyes on the lengthy European wine list.

Bar Europa
Sydney
Descend into this basement bar for a glass (or three) of 2005 Stefano Lubiano pinot noir and a mixed tapas plate featuring chorizo, dips, squid and meatballs.
