Vienna
Austrian wine fans with a rock-and-roll sensibility will feel like they've found heaven at this black-daubed Vinothek (wine bar) that vibes casual but takes its wines super seriously. Wines by the glass are all sourced from small producers – many of them are organic or minimal-intervention and friends of the owners – and are well priced at under €4 a glass.
Nicely done cold plates mean you can kick on and make a night of it.
