Bangkok's wine bar scene offers 22 notable spots where the emphasis is on exceptional wine by the glass rather than sky-high views. Key locations include Phloen Chit and Lumphini with establishments like Inddee and the Riedel cellar, extending down Silom to the riverside elegance of the Mandarin Oriental, and further along Sukhumvit to Thonglor and Soi 49. Here, Burgundy, Champagne, Bordeaux, German Riesling, and Barolo enrich the city's diverse offerings for wine enthusiasts.
Exceptional
INDDEE Restaurant
Restaurant · 68 Thanon Phloen Chit, Khwaeng Lumphini, Pathum Wan, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10330
Down a sub-soi off Langsuan, a short walk from Phloen Chit, an old villa houses the modern Indian cooking that the Michelin Guide Thailand raised to two stars in 2026. The set menu runs to around ten courses, and the kitchen's Japanese precision shows in the plating. Wine is the other reason to book. Head sommelier Thanakorn 'Jay' Bottorff has led the programme since the 2023 opening and pours more than 110 wines by the glass in 75ml and 125ml measures, ranging from grower Champagne and mature Burgundy to biodynamic Alsace, cool-climate Pinot Noir and a thoughtful run of Portugal. Star Wine List handed the list its Asia Grand Prix in 2025 and its global by-the-glass award in 2026. Each wine is introduced in the first person, which makes the list a pleasure to read as well as to drink.

Vessel EmSphere
Restaurant · Emsphere ชั้น G เลขที่ 628 Sukhumvit Rd, Khlong Tan, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110
More than two hundred wines by the glass is a startling number for a bar on the ground floor of a shopping mall, yet that is the offer at Vessel, inside EmSphere on Sukhumvit Road beside Phrom Phong BTS. The room is small and the list is not. Sommelier Andrea Demaria, Diploma-qualified with twenty years on floors across several continents, ranges from Bordeaux and Burgundy through Loire whites, Super-Tuscans and Cabernet Sauvignon to Champagne, with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay appearing in several guises. German Riesling gets a particular nod; an off-dry Spätlese is the staff pick as a match for Thai heat. Older vintages and reserve bottles that would normally demand a full-bottle commitment turn up here by the glass. It is built for the end of the working day, and it shows.

Anne-Sophie Pic at Le Normandie
Restaurant · 48 Oriental Ave, Khwaeng Khlong Ton Sai, Khet Bang Rak, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10500
Bangkok's original French fine-dining room has been serving since 1958, high in the Tower Wing of the Mandarin Oriental with the Chao Phraya below. Anne-Sophie Pic now leads it, working alongside head chef Tamaki Kobayashi, and the Michelin Guide Thailand promoted the restaurant to two stars in its 2026 edition. The wine side belongs to head sommelier Edwin Cochet, who trained at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons and at Maison Pic in Valence. His list runs the length of France: Champagne and Burgundy at the grand end, Bordeaux and the Rhône for the main courses, with Alsace, the Loire, Jura and Provence supplying the less expected pours. More than forty wines are available by the glass, among them a Vacheron Sancerre and a Saint-Joseph from Gripa. For a river-view dinner with serious French wine, few Bangkok addresses carry this much history.

Côte by Mauro Colagreco
Restaurant · 300/2 Charoenkrung Road, Yannawa, Sathorn, Bangkok 10120 Thailand
Mauro Colagreco's Bangkok restaurant sits on the second floor of the Capella, with the Chao Phraya filling the windows and Italian chef Davide Garavaglia, a Mirazur veteran, running the kitchen. The Michelin Guide Thailand awarded Côte two stars in 2026 for Riviera cooking that leans on seafood, olive oil and whatever is in season. Head sommelier Sabino Iacobone keeps the list Old World at heart, and Champagne is where it excels: grower bottlings sit beside the grand houses, with Burgundy, and Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from further afield, plus a solid Italian section. Forty-three wines are poured by the glass, so a pairing can be assembled course by course without committing to bottles. Star Wine List singles out the range of styles and price points as one of the widest in the city. Corkage is offered for guests who arrive with their own bottle.

Riedel Restaurant and Wine Cellar Bangkok
Wine Bar · 999 Thanon Phloen Chit, Khwaeng Lumphini, Pathum Wan, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10330
Gaysorn Village, the luxury mall on Phloen Chit Road, is not where most people would go looking for Grand Cru Burgundy by the glass, yet on its second floor Riedel Restaurant and Wine Cellar does exactly that. The bar centres on an Enomatic dispenser holding around thirty wines at any moment, with more than forty still wines and a handful of sparklers, three of them Champagne, on the by-the-glass list overall. First Growth Bordeaux sits next to small low-intervention producers; Barolo, Rioja, Ribera del Duero and Margaret River all get a turn. Behind it is a list of around 200 bottles, a front-of-house team certified to WSET Level 2 or above, and, this being Riedel, the right glass for everything. Classic bistro cooking and a terrace over one of downtown Bangkok's busiest junctions complete the picture.

The Wine Merchant Park Silom
Restaurant · 1 Convent Rd, Si Lom, Khet Bang Rak, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10500
Convent Road, where Silom's office towers begin, is home to the Wine Merchant group's most ambitious bar, set inside the Park Silom development. It works as shop and bar at once, so bottles line the room and the kitchen keeps to charcuterie, cheese and pasta. Star Wine List handed the venue five gold stars at its 2026 Southeast Asia awards, among them Best Bordeaux List and Best By-the-Glass List, and the pour list is where the depth shows. Between 35 and 40 wines are open on a given day, from Barolo and Champagne to German Riesling in its sweetest late-harvest forms, with Bordeaux across many vintages at prices the judges called competitive. Manager and sommelier Methawin Thanetworaarporn runs the floor. An after-work glass and a serious tasting sit equally comfortably here.

The Wine Merchant Sukhumvit
Restaurant · 799 Sukhumvit Rd, Klongtonnua, Watthana, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110
Between Phrom Phong and Thonglor, at 799 Sukhumvit Road, this Wine Merchant branch takes a looser line than its Silom sibling. The ground floor is the bar proper. Upstairs is a tasting room where guests may bring their own food and work through bottles chosen from the Wine Merchant range, a format that suits long evenings with friends rather than a quick stop. Wines by the glass number more than forty and follow the group's European instincts: Bordeaux and Burgundy in depth, Champagne, German Riesling and a strong Italian section. The floor is led by Ponsuda Palasak, a Court of Master Sommeliers Certified Sommelier who reached the top ten of the Thailand Best Sommelier Contest in 2025. The informality is the point; her recommendations are the bonus.

Cannubi by Umberto Bombana
Restaurant · 98 Thanon Rama IV, Si Lom, Khet Bang Rak, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10500
Umberto Bombana, the chef behind Hong Kong's three-star 8½ Otto e Mezzo, opened his Bangkok restaurant inside the Dusit Thani hotel on Rama IV Road, on the edge of Silom. The room is softly lit and looks onto a waterfall, and the cooking earned a Michelin star in the Thailand guide soon after arriving in 2025. Wine, though, is the reason to book. Head sommelier Charles Rodenstein oversees a cellar of some 350 labels with Piedmont at its centre, including a deep run of Barolo from the Cannubi vineyard that gives the restaurant its name, alongside Super-Tuscans and bottles from Etna. Star Wine List named it Best Italian Wine List in Southeast Asia, and then globally, in 2026. Burgundy and Bordeaux sections look after Francophile guests, and more than twenty wines are poured by the glass.

Divino Bangkok Food & Wine
Restaurant · PHMM+P5V, Soi Thong Lo, Khwaeng Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110
Thonglor has smartened up considerably since Divino opened on its main road sixteen years ago, when it was among the first wine bars in Bangkok. The place has stayed small and homely, and owner Roberto, with more than three decades in food and drink behind him, is there most nights opening bottles and steering guests towards something they have not tried. Italy is the point, with Piedmont well represented, and Riesling, Pinot Noir and traditional-method sparkling wine as the supporting cast, plus a scattering of bottles from further afield. The list changes often. Roughly twenty wines are poured by the glass, some from magnum, and the Matteo Correggia Alta Langa is a good place to begin. Daily specials from the kitchen change just as frequently, and corkage is available for anyone who would rather bring their own.

Duet By David Toutain
Restaurant · 189 Thanon Witthayu, Khwaeng Lumphini, Pathum Wan, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10330
Seven floors up in The Ritz-Carlton on Wireless Road, Duet occupies a glasshouse filled with greenery beneath a wooden ceiling carved with motifs drawn from nature. Paris chef David Toutain's seasonal tasting menu here is plant-forward and delicate, balancing land and sea, and the Michelin Guide Thailand added the restaurant to its selection in late 2025. Head sommelier Sirayu Aupping has built a list that Star Wine List approved as a White Star and named Best Medium-Sized List in Southeast Asia for 2026. Burgundy, Bordeaux and Champagne form the spine, with Chardonnay a recurring thread, but biodynamic and low-intervention producers are given as much room as the classics, and a sweet-wine section rewards staying for dessert. Twenty-two wines are poured by the glass, and a zero-proof pairing is offered for anyone skipping wine entirely.

Fillets Bangkok
Restaurant · The Storeys, One Bangkok, Thanon Witthayu, Khwaeng Lumphini, Pathum Wan, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10330
Inside The Storeys at One Bangkok, the new development on Wireless Road, chef Randy Chaiyachat Noprapa runs a kappo-style counter where the omakase stretches to fifteen or eighteen courses. Diners sit along a semi-circular counter facing a kitchen lit in warm white, watching cuts, grills and small composed bites arrive one after another; the sushi rice is seasoned three different ways to suit each fish. The Michelin Guide Thailand added Fillets to its selection in 2026. The drinks side is unusually thoughtful for a Japanese counter. Noprapa writes about sake and hunts down rare bottles, yet the wine list leans French, with Champagne, Burgundy and Bordeaux chosen to sit alongside raw fish and charcoal. Twenty-one wines are poured by the glass, with more kept on an unlisted menu for those who ask, and pairings can be added to either set menu.

GAA
Restaurant · 46 Soi Sukhumvit 53, Khwaeng Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110
A restored Thai wooden house on Soi Sukhumvit 53, some sixty years old, is home to Garima Arora's contemporary Indian cooking, which the Michelin Guide Thailand lists with two stars in 2026. The room is calm rather than grand, with taupe walls and only discreet Thai touches, and the kitchen treats classic Indian technique as a starting point for something lighter and more precise. Head sommelier Valeriia Bobyleva keeps the by-the-glass list to twenty-three wines and makes each one count: several grower Champagnes, orange wines, a small run of Japanese bottles and a proper set of dessert wines to close. Star Wine List named it Southeast Asia's best sparkling wine list in 2026, so the traditional method fizz is a sensible place to begin. The bottle list is not vast, but it has been chosen with real curiosity.

Juksunchae
Restaurant · PHMG+6MF, Sukhumvit 49, Khwaeng Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110
Twelve seats around an Italian marble counter, inside the Marriott Executive Apartments on Sukhumvit 49, are the whole of Juksunchae. Chef Henry Lee's omakase reworks traditional Korean flavours with real delicacy, and in 2026 the Michelin Guide Thailand gave it one star, the country's first for a Korean kitchen. The wine list is run by F&B director Pemnitchawi Limwichai with general manager Atiporn Khaengraeng, and the twenty glasses on offer cover an unusually wide map for a room this small: Riesling from Alsace and Germany, Jura, Barolo, Cabernet Franc, Bordeaux and Burgundy, with New Zealand Chardonnay and a Georgian amber wine among the featured pours. Pét-nat and sweet wines round things off. Star Wine List holds it as a White Star venue. For anyone curious how contemporary Korean cooking meets the classic European regions, this is the place to find out.

MUST Wine Bar
Wine Bar · 2nd floor SODALITY 263 Thong Lo 13, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110
Up on the second floor of Sodality on Thonglor Soi 13, MUST is a neighbourhood wine bar with a serious list and no interest in ceremony. Nuttiya 'Lily' Wisootsat builds it around independent growers, with a soft spot for indigenous grape varieties and appellations that are quietly disappearing. Between thirty and forty wines are open by the glass at any time, alongside more than ten flights, and the cellar behind them runs past 500 labels. Expect low-intervention and biodynamic bottles from cool-climate sites and plenty of off-the-beaten-track names; a Santorini Assyrtiko blend from Sigalas is a typical pour. Star Wine List holds it as a White Star venue and gave it silver in three categories at its 2025 Asia awards, by-the-glass among them. The kitchen was designed to serve the list, so dishes are built to be matched rather than the other way round.

Swirl Ruamrudee
Restaurant · 65/1 Thanon Witthayu, Khwaeng Lumphini, Pathum Wan, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10330
Swirl began as the wine bar and shop of Riesling & Co., a boutique importer, and this Wireless Road outpost in the Ruamrudee quarter of Lumphini carries the same approach. Owner Kittisak Jarayabhand is an engineer who changed careers for wine and now presents the Swirl Experience channel on YouTube, so expect the stories to come with the glass. Around twenty wines are open by the glass at any time, and the list changes monthly, moving between classics, a few daring choices and the odd rarity. Germany is the anchor, with Riesling and whites such as a Bernhard Huber Malterdinger, then Burgundy, the Loire, the Rhône and Italy, where a Boglietti Barolo and an Etna Rosso have both had recent runs. It is a good place to learn about wine without being lectured, and the bottles are chosen to reward curiosity.

Sühring
Restaurant · 10 Soi Yen Akat 3, Khwaeng Chong Nonsi, Khet Yan Nawa, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10120
Twin chefs Thomas and Mathias Sühring cook modern German food inside a restored 1970s villa on Soi Yen Akat, a quiet residential pocket of Chong Nonsi just south of Sathorn. The Michelin Guide Thailand 2026 awarded the restaurant three stars, and the wine side keeps pace: Star Wine List named it Asia's Best Austrian Wine List in 2025, describing a cellar of German and Austrian depth with a bias towards light, fresh whites. Head sommelier Guillaume Perdigues, who trained in Burgundy, pours around two dozen wines by the glass, leaning on Riesling, cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Burgundy and Germany alike. The full list runs past 1,500 labels, many of them aged in-house by the brothers themselves. Guests may also bring a bottle on a buy-one, bring-one basis. The villa feels like a private house because it once was one.

The Wine Merchant Thonglor
Restaurant · 8, Town Hall Park, 88 สุขุมวิท 49 แขวงคลองตันเหนือ เขตวัฒนา กรุงเทพมหานคร 10110
Thonglor's Wine Merchant sits in the Town Hall compound on Sukhumvit 49, the residential soi running parallel to Thonglor proper and a short walk from the district's restaurants. This is the group's candle-lit room, dimmer and slower than its siblings, with a pace built for lingering over a bottle rather than dashing through a flight. More than twenty wines are open by the glass and they follow the house pattern of classic Europe, Bordeaux and Burgundy at the centre, Champagne alongside, and Barbaresco leading a considered run of Italian reds. German whites round out the list. Branch manager Cholprathan Panthongkum has spent more than eight years on Bangkok wine floors and steers the room with an easy hand. For a quiet second glass after dinner on Thonglor, it is the obvious place to walk to.

Vessel One Bangkok
Restaurant · The Storeys, One Bangkok, Thanon Witthayu, Khwaeng Lumphini, Pathum Wan, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10330
The newer Vessel occupies a unit in The Storeys, the retail quarter of the One Bangkok development on Witthayu (Wireless) Road, opposite Lumphini Park. Where the EmSphere original is a bar, this is a restaurant with the wine list at its heart, a chef's menu written to sit alongside it and a cellar of more than 350 bottles. Andrea Demaria oversees both sites, and here he keeps the glass list tighter: roughly 25 to 28 pours, rotated monthly, anchored by Bordeaux and Burgundy and opening with traditional-method sparkling wine that need not be Champagne. Beyond the classics the list wanders deliberately towards emerging producers and less familiar grapes, and the staff are briefed to talk guests through them. Lunchtime meetings and long dinners both work. The setting is glossy and new; the pouring is quietly serious.

tōst 49
Restaurant · 88,8 Sukhumvit 49, Khwaeng Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110
At the rear of the Town Hall compound on Sukhumvit 49, tōst 49 was started by three friends with three trades: a chef, a sommelier and a baker. That explains the shape of the day. Daylight belongs to the baker; after dark the same room becomes a wine bar with around thirty pours by the glass. Sommelier Chutikarn 'Bow' Songpum organises the list by music genre rather than region, so a page of Jazz might sit beside Disco and Hip Hop, and nearly everything comes from small organic or biodynamic growers. Champagne features, and there is a proper run of sweet wines to finish on. The side street is quieter than Thonglor's main drag, which suits a place founded on the idea that nothing worth having should be hurried. The wine list is written to that tempo.

Bisou
Restaurant · 9 Soi Langsuan, Khwaeng Lumphini, Pathum Wan, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10330
Down a small sub-soi off Langsuan, barely two minutes on foot from Chit Lom BTS, sits a sixty-seat French bistro that has become one of the liveliest dinner rooms in the city. Bisou is the work of chef Antoine Darquin and co-founder and sommelier Théo Lavergne, whose CV includes Le Clarence in Paris and Maison Troisgros, and the Michelin Guide added it to its Thailand selection in October 2024. Star Wine List describes the room turning into something close to a party as the night goes on. The wine list is short and French, built on Burgundy, Bordeaux and Alsace with a few stranger bottles slipped in. Eighteen wines are poured by the glass, and Lavergne will open things most restaurants keep for full bottles, a 2017 Dom Pérignon and a 1995 Côte-Rôtie among them. Service is knowledgeable without ever feeling stiff.

Charmkrung
Restaurant · 6th floor 839 Charoenkrung Road, Samphanthawong, Bangkok 10100
Up on the sixth floor of an unremarkable former industrial block in Talad Noi, Charmkrung is the second restaurant from chef-owner Jai and the team behind Charmgang. The cooking is Thai, sharp-flavoured and made for sharing, served across a big open room where bar counters suit solo diners as well as tables suit groups. Sommelier Kiki Sontiyart came to wine from the kitchen, having cooked with David Thompson at Aaharn in Hong Kong, and it shows in how the list is assembled. Around 150 bottles mix classic benchmarks with natural wines, all chosen to stand up to chilli and fish sauce: Alsace and German whites, Loire and Rhône reds, pét-nat, sherry and a rotating dessert wine. Seventeen wines come by the glass, a Zind-Humbrecht Pinot Gris among them. Star Wine List gave it Best Short List in Southeast Asia for 2026.

Nusara
Restaurant · 336 Thanon Maha Rat, Khwaeng Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang, Khet Phra Nakhon, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10200
Overlooking Wat Pho in the old Ta Tien quarter, Nusara occupies the floor above the Nuss cocktail bar, with just ten seats and a softly lit rooftop that looks out over the temple to the Chao Phraya. Chef Thitid 'Ton' Tassanakajohn of Le Du named it for his grandmother, and the Michelin Guide Thailand awards it one star in 2026 for family-rooted Thai cooking of unusual refinement, the Wagyu stir-fry with holy basil among the highlights. Sommelier Chaisiri Tassanakajohn works with sixteen wines by the glass, chosen to stand up to spice, herb and umami. Champagne leads, with Krug Grande Cuvée and Louis Roederer Cristal both poured by the glass, followed by Burgundy, rosé and a small sweet-wine selection, plus a pour of Thai sato rice wine as a nod to home. Michelin calls it one of the city's most intimate Thai dining rooms.
