Over the course of the last few years, more people have begun to consider going out for snacks and drinks a slightly more elegant affair. They don’t mind dressing up a bit for a fun night out, and some of the top destinations on their minds are wine bars.
Wine bars are one of the hottest trends in the restaurant industry, and given the great vibe, convivial atmosphere, and rustic nature of these social hotbeds, it really shouldn’t surprise anyone. However, if you are a wine lover, you may find yourself a bit indecisive as to whether or not this is the right way to truly enjoy it.
After all, there is centuries-old documentation of some vineyards, and families still take stewardship of their family’s wine lineage very seriously for many generations. The notion that a beverage as refined as wine could end up being consumed in a Pub looks scandalous.
On the other hand, who sets the rules for enjoying wine? If you’re a wine lover but still on the fence about all of this, maybe you need a little more insight into what these cool places bring to the table.
Here is a guide to wine bars for wine lovers:
Relaxed and Rustic – Unlike the usual settings we see for wine consumption and enjoyment that are made up of sharp edges, stainless steel, and crisp white sheets, wine bars are all about the rustic setting. They choose to embody the old world vineyard spirit of letting the wine do the talking rather than the surroundings.
it is not a new idea – Wine bars actually date back to the 1980s. This was a decade of excess and no holds barred, and there was no better time to experiment in the often elitist wine market. The trend continued through the 1990s, although popularity had waned. The rise of the food revolution has certainly been key to the revival of wine bars in America.
The development of the national wine paves the way – During the last fifty to seventy years, the national wine has not only become a thing, but has had an impact on the world wine market. As more wines from the United States remain among the best the international community has to offer, more people in the US want to see what all the fuss is about.
Local flavors reign supreme – Wine bars are especially good for the small local winemaker trying to gain a foothold somewhere in the market. They create partnerships with wine bars, which gives them ‘gateway’ to a larger audience.
Wine bars are big on the scene right now, but they’re nothing new. What is new is the interest in wine and the tint of class it brings to every setting in which it is found. More and more chefs and restaurant owners are trying to find an edge over the competition, and they’ve found that the best way to do that is by making even the fanciest ingredients and offerings more accessible.
