13 wine bar places in Vienna we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Vienna | Wine Bar across every city.

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.
