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

Copenhagen embraced natural and low-intervention wine early, and its bars tend towards small rooms, biodynamic lists and a deliberate lack of fuss. Ved Stranden 10, on the canal opposite Christiansborg in Indre By, is the reference room, open since 2010, while Den Vandrette on Havnegade pours from the Rosforth & Rosforth import list in the inner harbour. In Nørrebro, Pompette on Møllegade is a tiny basement with no sign and no reservations, an entry-price introduction to the style.
