Wine to go? These are the best wine shops in Prague
Vin de Marie
The Vin de Marie wine shop has been a jewel on Dlouhá Street since the middle of last year. Although the pleasant space invites you to sit for longer, you can also buy a bottle to go, and drink it wherever your heart desires.
"We have a range of bottles mainly from Central European winemakers, plus some from France, Italy, and Georgia. We like to work with winemakers with who share our values and a similar view of gastronomy – we choose producers who make do with minimal intervention both in the vineyard and in the cellar," explains sommelier Zdeněk Oudes in an interview for Food and Joy.
If you're not sure which wine to choose from the extensive range, no problem – the experienced staff will be happy to help you. In addition, Vin de Marie also sells delicious La Perle sardines, which will enhance any house party or spring picnic.
📍Dlouhá 37, Prague 1
Veltlin
If you haven't yet visited Veltlin, that needs fixing. This wine bar offers natural, authentic wines from the regions of the former Habsburg monarchy, meaning there's something for everyone. A great place for a night out, but also for a quick wine purchase to go.
📍Křižíkova 488/115, Prague 8
Le Caveau
Do you have a weakness for French wines? If so, head to Le Caveau, located on Jiřího z Poděbrad Square. Expect wines from regions such as Bordeaux, Vallée du Rhône, Burgundy or Languedoc-Roussillon, as well as excellent crémants or Champagnes.
We particularly recommend stopping by Le Caveau before a house party or a picnic with family or friends – in addition to excellent wines, they have fine French cheeses and foie gras, and you can visit their boulangerie (bakery) to fill your picnic basket with a French baguette, croissants or pain au chocolate.
📍náměstí Jiřího z Poděbrad 9, Prague 3
Wine Food The Italians
For Italian wines head to Wine Food The Italians, which has branches in Dejvice and Smíchov. For those not based in the centre of Prague, a further location can be found in Průhonice. All also stock fresh cheeses, cold cuts and other Italian delicacies.
📍Strakonická 948/1, Prague 5
📍Národní obrany 29, Prague 6
📍Květnové náměstí 50, Průhonice
Prosekárna
For lovers of sparkling wines, Prosekárna awaits! Here, you'll find mainly wines from small family wineries in Italy, and if you want to try something unusual, ask the staff for unfiltered prosecco that's slightly cloudy, with subtle bubbles and an aroma of freshly baked bread.
When summer approaches, reach for their light, slightly sparkling frizzante wine. Prosekárna currently has five locations in Prague, in Vinohrady, Letná, Myslíkova Street, Petrské náměstí and Vysočany.
📍Vinohradská 53, Prague 2
📍Jirečkova 9, Prague 7
📍Paříkova 910/9, Prague 9
📍Myslíkova 16, Prague 2
📍Petrské náměstí 1186/1, Prague 1
Winegeek
The true kingdom of organic and natural wines. That's how you can define this spot in Holešovice, which favours wines without unnecessary chemistry. You'll find mainly bottles from Italy, Spain, Germany, Austria and France, but there are also natural wines from domestic Czech vineyards.
The owners of Winegeek know the their winemakers personally, so you can be sure of quality and authenticity. And if you can't decide on a single bottle, go for the aptly named Six Pack.
📍Řezáčovo nám. 2, Prague 7
Bokovka
Bokovka, a wine bar in the Old Town with a palpable genius loci, is always a safe bet. Come and test the wines for yourself, selected by sommelier Roman Novotný. And if you have a meeting or event coming up, take a bottle with you.
📍Dlouhá 729/37, Prague 1
Merlot Dušní
Once a hardware store, now a wine shop, the wine bar Merlot Dušní is also worth a visit. Its interior will transport you back to the old days, and the wine selection is similarly intoxicating, primarily focused on French regions.
📍Dušní 1, Prague 1
