Wine bar
The wine tavern is a restaurant that mainly drinks wine . There are wine bars mainly in southern Germany and neighboring areas, i.e. in areas with viticulture , for example in Franconia , in Alsace , where they are still called Winstub today , or in the Middle Rhine Valley .
The wine list is often not very extensive compared to wine restaurants, and local wines are often preferred. In contrast to restaurants, wine bars do not have a sommelier - wine taverns , landlords and waiters themselves provide information about the wines on offer.
Wine bars usually also serve smaller meals ( home cooking ) and sometimes even beer . The Würzburger Bäcken were the most original form of the wine bar; Here, the guests traditionally brought their own meal with them because nothing other than wine was served.
Most of the wine taverns have a decidedly traditional and "rustic" decor, often pictorial representations or historical tools used by winemakers and coopers refer to the history of viticulture.
