Introducing The Coravin Guide: The World’s Only Global Wine by-the-Glass Guide

the Coravin Guide

A New Way to Explore Wine

For too long, wine enjoyment meant committing to a single bottle. With The Coravin Guide, that's no longer the case.

This new platform celebrates the growing wine-by-the-glass movement — connecting wine lovers to restaurants, bars, and hotels that offer exceptional wines by the glass. From cozy local wine bars to Michelin-starred destinations, The Coravin Guide helps you experience more, explore more, and drink better by-the-glass.


What Is The Coravin Guide?

Inspired by the freedom that Coravin brings to wine, The Guide was created to connect people with venues and sommeliers who share that same spirit of discovery.

It showcases exciting, extensive, and innovative by-the-glass programs across the world — each venue evaluated using The Coravin Guide's Glass Distinction Tiers:

Why The Coravin Guide Exists

Coravin changed the way people experience wine, allowing every bottle to be enjoyed one glass at a time while remaining as fresh as the moment it was first opened.

28,000+
Venues globally trust Coravin wine by-the-glass systems

Today, Coravin empowers sommeliers to expand their by-the-glass lists and give guests freedom of choice. The Coravin Guide builds on that legacy, highlighting where that same philosophy thrives – helping people find great wines by-the-glass, drinking less but better.


"We created The Coravin Guide because wine by the glass should be about discovery, not limitation. Too often, people feel they need a special occasion to open a great bottle, or they miss out on exploring because a full bottle feels like a commitment. The Coravin Guide gives wine lovers the freedom to find venues that share that same philosophy – where you can taste, explore, and savor wine one glass at a time."
— Greg Lambrecht, Founder of Coravin

Industry Recognition

The launch of The Coravin Guide has already captured the attention of the global wine community.

"Ordering wine by the glass has shifted from a 'cheapskate' move to one reflecting an enthusiasm to explore," wrote Jancis Robinson MW, speaking alongside Coravin founder Greg Lambrecht and restaurateur Xavier Rousset MS at the launch event in London.

The Drinks Business added that "Coravin's new guide spotlights the venues which are pioneering more extensive by-the-glass menus" – a shift that reflects how exploration, not commitment, now defines how consumers want to drink.

In its coverage, London Daily News highlighted the Guide's global impact, noting that:

"London has officially been named the city with the most restaurants featured in The Coravin Guide, the world's first digital directory dedicated entirely to wine-by-the-glass menus."

The publication celebrated the Guide's role in shaping a "new era of wine drinking," where exploration, not commitment, defines how people enjoy wine today.

Meanwhile, Restaurant Online praised the Guide's innovation and reach, writing:

"Earlier this week, Coravin launched The Coravin Guide, the world's first digital guide to great wine-by-the-glass menus around the world… Featured venues are recognised through a tiering system reflecting the breadth of their by-the-glass programmes."
