There’s nothing quite like a nice glass of wine at the end of a long day.
The first archaeological evidence of wine is dated to 7,000 BCE in China. Clearly, we’re fans. The wine really is the perfect beverage. Not only does it taste great, but it’s also usually the start of a very good time and when consumed in moderation, is reported to have some amazing health benefits. Not that you need any convincing.
Here are the best places in Columbus where you can grab a glass or a bottle (we’re not judging) of your favorite wine.

Coast Wine House
If there was an award for the most photogenic wine bar, Coast Wine House would definitely win. Located in Dublin, this place is the perfect spot to gather with your friends, get cozy, and spill some tea. In addition to a delicious variety of wine, they also serve beer, cocktails, snacks, and cheese boards. Something for everyone, my friends.

The Laundry at Hausfrau Haven
Hausfrau Haven is a wine and beer “haven” located in the historic German Village. It’s a massive boutique wine store that has a huge selection of labels, including rare wines.
