Vienna sits inside its own wine region, and the city's wine bars pour Gruener Veltliner and local bottles alongside short, sharp food menus. Heunisch & Erben in Landstrasse and MAST Weinbistro in Alsergrund lead the contemporary end. Pub Klemo in Margareten and Vinifero Weinbar in Leopoldstadt round out the picks, with Tian Bistro am Spittelberg in Neubau adding a vegetarian-leaning option.
MAST Weinbistro on Porzellangasse in Vienna's Alsergrund is Matthias Pitra and Steve Breitzke's natural-wine bistro, the Servitenviertel address with a Bib.
TipLunch service runs midday Wednesday to Friday; the weekend service is dinner only.
Pub Klemo on Margaretenstrasse in Vienna's 5th district has poured Austrian wine since 2006, the weekly list of 100 glass-pours and a 3,000-bottle next-door.
TipThe next-door retail shop sells everything on the bar list at retail; ask Klemo to suggest a bottle for the table.
Wein & Co's Stephansplatz flagship is Vienna's biggest by-the-glass operator, the ground-floor bar pouring 96 Falstaff points with a basement vinothek.
TipOrder at the upstairs bar; downstairs is the shop where staff will pull any bottle for an upstairs corkage.
Vinothek St. Stephan opposite the cathedral is one of Vienna's oldest fine-wine sellers, a vaulted shop with a small bar pouring aged Austrian rarities.
TipSaturday afternoon is the room's tasting drop-in; the back archive holds the older Wachau Rieslings.
Pub Klemo on Margaretenstrasse in Vienna's 5th district pours wine until 02:00 Monday to Saturday, the kitchen running homemade pasta and small plates.
