The Coravin Guide goes beyond London highlighting By The Glass menus around the UK

Coravin is taking The Coravin Guide, the first and only digital guide to wine by-the-glass menus, to cities and towns around the UK after initially launching in London.

Coravin, the global leader in wine by-the-glass systems, launched The Coravin Guide in late 2025, fuelled by its philosophy of freedom to choose any wine, any time, in any amount. Originally covering only restaurants and bars in the capital, The Guide has now expanded to cities including Brighton, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Bath, Leeds and Edinburgh with additional venues to be added over the coming months.

Restaurants and bars featured in The Coravin Guide are recognised through a bespoke tiering system, reflecting the breadth of the venues’ by-the-glass programmes. There are also sections dedicated to ‘hidden gems’, seasonal listings and menus with focused, but no less inspirational, menus.

Last year, Coravin commissioned independent research which revealed that consumers are ordering more wine by-the-glass than two years ago, with exploration a way to access premium wines without having to buy a bottle, as key motivations behind this shift.

“Wine by-the-glass should be about discovery, not limitation, and is literally why I invented Coravin over a decade ago,” says founder Greg Lambrecht who has just celebrated selling his 2 millionth system. “Too often people feel they need an occasion to open a special bottle when out, or they miss out 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 savour one glass at a time.”

“We see first-hand how wine by-the-glass is evolving as consumer trends shift towards ‘drinking less but better’ and a deeper curiosity in wine exploration grows,” adds Coravin CEO Dave Krupinski.  “We recognised a clear need for a platform celebrating the quality, variety and accessibility of wines by-the-glass. We are proud of the role Coravin can play in breaking down barriers and connecting wine lovers with the people and places redefining wine experiences.”

Participation for venues in The Coravin Guide (guide.coravin.com) is free and open to all qualifying venues.

In 2025 Coravin undertook extensive research with independent wine drinkers, global Coravin customers, and on-trade industry participants to better understand consumer behaviour around drinking wine by-the glass (BTG) out of the home. Read the report here.
