Australia's 50 best wine bars as determined by the country's top wine critics - Wine + Champagne

Sep 02, 2019

When wine o’clock hits, here’s where to head.

Choosing a good wine bar can be hard work, especially if you’ve had a few glasses already. Save yourself the headache (that’s for later) and check out the 2019 Wineslinger Top 50 Venues, a list of the best-stocked wine bars in the country, as determined by over 100 national winemakers, sommeliers and wine writers.

“This list provides the insider’s guide to the places that the toughest critics in wine choose to have a ripping time. They’re restaurants, bars and pubs that bring energy, adventure and approachability to wine enjoyment,” says Young Gun of Wine founder, Rory Kent.

“These are places defined by fun, not formality. The size of your wine list isn’t what gets you onto the Top 50. It’s the sum of the parts. It’s the wine concept, the food, the staff, the setting, and that special something.”
