Wine Selection

A serious wine programme is no longer rare in Amsterdam — the city’s restaurants and wine bars run lists that span natural producers from the Loire and South Africa, organic Austrian and German bottles, and a noticeable lean toward Dutch and Belgian wines on the lighter-list end. This archive collects venues where wine is a focus rather than an afterthought: dedicated wine bars in De Pijp, the Negen Straatjes and Oud-West, hotel restaurants with sommelier-led pairings, and the small wine shops that double as wine bars in the evening. Each listing notes the country focus of the list, whether bottles are available by the glass, and corkage policy where it exists.
