Unwined KL inside APW Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur, is one of the city's early natural wine shops, a small drinks-only room pouring pet-nats and grower Champagne.
TipExcise duty means bottles run high here, so ask about the by-the-glass list if you only want to taste a few pours.
Corks Out in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur, doubles as a wine shop and a bar, so its 250-plus labels pour at retail price rather than a markup.
TipPick a bottle straight off the retail shelf and pay shop price to drink it at the back bar, no markup added.
Salute Wine and Sake Bar in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur, runs wine and sake flights alongside live sets late into the night most days.
TipLive music usually starts after 9pm, so come earlier if you want to talk over your wine instead of a band.
Byond Walls at Millerz Square on Old Klang Road, Kuala Lumpur, pairs a rooftop sky garden with Neapolitan style pizza and a fairly priced bottle list.
TipOrder the Tyrrell's Old Winery Shiraz with the Prosciutto di Parma pizza, the venue's own pairing pick.
Mount Pleasure at The Five in Bukit Damansara, Kuala Lumpur, sits between Feeka Coffee Roasters and Pizza Mansion, so its wine pairs with either menu.
TipOrder food from Feeka or Pizza Mansion next door and bring it to your table; Mount Pleasure itself pours wine only.
Copaa in Desa Sri Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur, sells its wines at a flat markup per bottle with sharing plates built on Malaysian herbs like ulam raja.
TipWalk into the cellar, where bottles are sorted by taste profile; the room is on the first floor above Itsumo, by lift.
Basic Wine Store in Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur, comes from the team behind Table & Apron and pours only low-intervention, organic and biodynamic bottles.
TipThe list is entirely low-intervention wine, so ask staff for a conventional-tasting pick if you are new to natural wine.
PODO Wine Outlet in Desa Sri Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur, is a wine shop whose Korean founder Soo, a trained sommelier, has tasted each of its 700 or so labels.
TipUse the side room to talk through picks with Soo and her team; bottles start from about RM60.
Gentle Giants, which moved from the Zhongshan Building to Jalan Tun H S Lee in Kuala Lumpur, pours natural and low-intervention wine by candlelight.
TipBring your own food since the bar keeps no kitchen; regulars have carried in dumplings, pizza and nasi goreng.
Astor Bar and Decanter at The St Regis Kuala Lumpur, open since 2016, pours wine, champagne and cocktails among dark wood, velvet sofas and gold accents.
TipOrder the Rat Pack Rusty Nail, a smoking bourbon and Drambuie drink, if you would rather have a cocktail than wine.
Brasa in Plaza Damansara, Kuala Lumpur, runs a charcoal grill and wine bar together, matching its bottle list to whatever protein is over the fire.
TipKitchen last call is 21:45, so arrive by early evening if you want the full charcoal grill menu with your wine.
