Where can I find the best Champagne by the glass in Sydney?
Aria offers over 90 wines by the glass with one of the city's deepest Champagne selections overlooking the Opera House. Glass Brasserie at the Hilton pours prestige cuvées including vintage Krug, while Restaurant Hubert channels Parisian glamour with 55 wines by the glass and Champagne at its core. Kipling's Garage Bar in Turramurra offers 145 wines by the glass — one of the largest programmes in Australia.
What is traditional method sparkling wine?
Traditional method (méthode traditionnelle) sparkling wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle — the same process used in Champagne. In Australia, premium producers in Tasmania, the Adelaide Hills, and the Yarra Valley use this method to create sparkling wines of exceptional quality. Venues like Rockpool Bar & Grill and Oborozuki feature these alongside French Champagne.
What's the difference between Champagne and Australian sparkling wine?
Champagne is produced exclusively in the Champagne region of France under strict appellation rules. Australian traditional method sparkling wines use the same techniques but draw on different terroirs — Tasmania's cool climate, the Adelaide Hills' elevation, and the Yarra Valley's maritime influence each produce distinctive styles. Both are represented across the venues in this guide.
What price should I expect for Champagne by the glass in Sydney?
Non-vintage Champagne by the glass typically ranges from A$25–$40 at most venues. Prestige cuvées and vintage selections — served via Coravin at venues like Glass Brasserie and Aria — can range from A$50–$120+ per glass. Australian traditional method sparkling is often more accessible, starting around A$18–$30.
Can I find grower Champagne in Sydney?
Yes. Several venues in this guide feature grower Champagne — small, estate-produced wines from independent vignerons rather than the large houses. Bentley Restaurant & Bar and Restaurant Hubert both include grower expressions on their by-the-glass lists, offering a more personal, terroir-driven alternative to grande marque Champagne.
