10 Top Wine Bars in Copenhagen

Founded in 2008 by Lisbeth and Bo Jacobsen, the owners of the high-end restaurant Restaurationen, R Vinbar has been one of Copenhageners’ favorite wine bars for 10 years. Offering more than 30 different types of wine, a great variety of appetizers to accompany your drink, a qualified service team always willing to help you choose the wine that suits your taste best, and a hyggelig atmosphere, it seems that the people behind R Vinbar have found the secret recipe for the ultimate wine bar.

If you like wine but not the pretentious atmosphere that wine bars sometimes have, or the high prices, Vinhanen is your place. Here, bartenders fill their clients’ glasses or bottles from five huge steel tanks with wine that is produced in France, Italy, and Germany, and they even offer a takeaway option for those who can’t resist a glass of Vinhanen’s wine but prefer to savor it in one of Copenhagen’s beautiful parks. Both Vinhanen, in Nørrebro and in Vesterbro, attract a mixed crowd of millennials and older wine enthusiasts. Prices start at 50DKK (US$8) for a glass of wine.

With approximately 100 wine bottles on its shelves, Ravnsborg Vinbar can satisfy even the most demanding wine connoisseurs. Those who want to accompany their wine with a meal or a small snack won’t be disappointed, either. The colorful wine bar offers great food inspired by the local, French, and Spanish cuisines. Ravnsborg Vinbar has been named as the City’s Best Wine Bar in 2015 and in 2016.

With minimalist interior design and typical Scandinavian decor, a great collection of wines, delicious dishes, and the three owners’ enthusiasm for offering the very best service, no wonder Ancestrale is one of Copenhagen’s best wine bars. Locals pass by after a day at work for a glass of wine or maybe three, because nobody can say no to the wine bar’s offer of three glasses for 100DKK (US$16.60). Both the food menu and the wine collection change often, so regulars won’t get bored and newbies will have a reason to come back.

At Mother Wine, everything is Italian. The natural and organic wines are imported from Italy, the small dish aperitifs are made from Italian ingredients, and the place’s decoration is a blend of Danish and Italian design. Guests at Mother Wine can taste a few wine glasses before choosing which one will be the winner for the night.
