Everwines: The Everyman's Wine Bar

The city’s exploding with wine bars – venues that range from “we serve a full menu of food but we really care about wine” to “nobody here but us bottles.” Everwines is squarely in the latter camp, with a minimalist, no-fuss approach to making wines available to both the novice and the seasoned oenophile.

If you’d like to buy a bottle to take home, there’s a large selection with a focus on family-owned wineries; prices range from RMB 70-800. If you want to stay and drink, they’ll charge an extra RMB 50 for service. You can also choose from eight wines by the glass (RMB 50-65). So that you don’t have to drink on an empty stomach, they’ll serve up some bread, olives and even Joselito jamon iberico, but not much beyond that. If you don’t want to leave home at all, they’ll deliver too. Everwines’s lack of pretention may disappoint some, but the rest of us will be relieved.
