The tastiest artisanal wine shops of the moment

De tastiest addresses in the wine category? Always nice to know! To surprise your visitors on a special, festive evening or just for a... cozy couch-hanging evening. And by those addresses we mean of course not the standard liquor store on the corner - or the big chains. Here is, Find the latest (and old toppers) from addresses in Amsterdam, The Hague and Haarlem here to fill that wine rack.

Wild Wines

Wild Wines

The name alone makes you want more. Bee Wild Wines they sell natural wines, we like. You have to cup of tea but once you have sipped it, many people are hooked. The nice thing about natural wines? Made by winegrowers who prefer not to mess around with additives and work in harmony with nature. The nice thing about wild wines is the profiles behind the wines, they also highlight the makers on their site. Think of bearded Sven from Enderle & Moll who makes the tastiest Pinot Noir in Germany. A small disadvantage is that there are few bottles, because a lot of love is needed in such a production. You can also find fun facts about the wines you ultimately buy.
Pickup point: Haarlem, sometimes they do one pop-up in Amsterdam at Binnenvisser – keep an eye on the socials for that.

The Wine Gallery

The Wine Gallery

Alessio and Dennis started their wine adventure just before the corona situation and that immediately put some pressure on the kettle because restaurants were one no go. So full focus on the consumer at home, who would also like a drink. Both are real gourmets and they have now acquired a wide range of knowledge. They both enjoy sharing the stories behind the wines, but you can also certainly get some advice if you are looking for a specific taste.

Nice one from the wine gallery? That they also do subscriptions. How nice to receive a surprise at your door every month and also receive a piece of text and explanation? Give us such a wonderful surprise every month (perhaps a nice Christmas/Sinterklaas gift tip?!) If you are interested, the men will visit you for a home tasting (hello, nice friends evening). Can we also give a small compliment about the accessibility of the webshop? A wonderfully clear filter menu makes your choice a lot easier. Just order!

Pop up shop: sometimes the gentlemen have a pop-up shop. Keep the social of the wine gallery.

The Philosopher

The Philosopher

A surprising one in the list because this philosopher once again gets his wines from somewhere other than the standard list of countries. For example, the philosopher's wines come from Lebanon, Israel, Croatia, Georgia and so on. Surprising and fun. In addition to the more accessible wines that The Philosopher they also have a wide range of natural wines and amber wines. There is a shop in the Jordaan Amsterdam and in The Hague. You can also order online, with a small order we will deliver to your home, which is also nice. Workshops are organized for the real fans, read more about this on the site!

The Wine List

The Wine List

A new one in the list: The Wine Menu, which has a wine bar in Amsterdam South, with certainly also an option to order a tasty snack to go with your glass of wine. Cheese is available from Fromagerie Kef (personal favorite here!). But let's focus on the wines; they come from various countries with various specialties. This way you can be well informed about the origin, the taste and a possible matching dish. They serve you well and with enough information to complete a home dinner, or taste all the goodies in the bar itself. If you order online, the wines are divided into color and taste (red-white, sweet, etc.). We would definitely come and have a look, because it looks like a piece of cake. We can't wait to experience the beautiful interior and delicious food in the wine bar. Date night material is waiting for you.

Sprezzatura

Sprezzatura

This address provides you with the best wines of the Italian landscape. Never a wrong combination; wine and Italy. In addition, the store is also very strategically located in the same street as Fromagerie Kef. 1 and 1 is two. What do you like about Sprezzatura? The price range in the wines. There is plenty of choice for under ten euros, which is nice. But you're also in the right place for some exclusive wines. All bad Sprezzatura and so to Amsterdam East for your groceries and that drink.
Kleine side note: this webshop also works like crazy - nice filter function, so perfect if you don't want to leave the house.

Grapehunters

Grapehunters

This is “one to watch” because not yet live, but very soon. Team Grapehunters has a clear mission; selling natural wines and sharing the love for them. Extra fun? The wine comes from the Grapehunters themselves. There are 3 types; white, red, rosé. The label? a work of art. Nice bottle, also great to give as a gift (doesn't require wrapping paper).

Pick-up point: stay tuned!
