La Cave à Manger de Jacques Dumas on Rue des Bouchers in Lille sells growers' bottles to drink in or take away, with charcuterie boards alongside.
Signature pour: A grower's bottle taken from the shelf
Wine focus: Independent vignerons
Food: Mixed charcuterie boards

Tip: The in-house sommelier runs blind tastings. Ask when the next one is rather than guessing.

Tip: It shuts by 19:30, so this is an aperitif rather than a late-night room.
