Phone: +44 20 3146 8666
Address: 85 Piccadilly, Mayfair, London
International Sparkling Wine List of the Year, presented by Nyetimber 2025
An impressive staircase sets the stage for the grandeur of the impressive sparkling by-the-glass list that greets you in this Michelin-starred Mayfair restaurant. The modern but easy-going atmosphere is shaped by wooden décor inspired by the trees of nearby Green Park, best enjoyed in the light-filled upstairs dining room framed by floor-to-ceiling windows. Take time to notice the gorgeous bespoke floral casts, using plaster of Paris, that decorate the walls here and in the two private rooms, which can be combined for larger parties. The digital list makes navigating the 750 wines located on...

![The Ledbury, a restaurant in London, UK.]()
Phone: +44 20 7792 9090
Address: 127 Ledbury Rd, London
The Ledbury has become one of the most iconic fine-dining restaurants in London. The wine list is accessible, balanced and with depth should you want to experiment or splurge on some of the finest bottles in town. It covers the classics from all over the world and more esoteric options, also demonstrated in their wine pairings. In traditional fashion, The Ledbury has been buying and storing their own wine for years, which has given them a deep reserve of older vintages to share. Their selection of whiskies and Madeira is also well worth a look.

Phone: +44 20 7242 8963
Address: 51 Lamb's Conduit St, London
Best By-the-Glass List UK, presented by Lingua Franca 2026
Noble Rot is now a global name, with its quarterly magazine and multiple venues earning a reputation for making wine feel relaxed and for everyone, without compromising on the seriousness of their lists. Lambs Conduit is the original Fitzrovia location, with the street named after William Lambe, a wealthy Tudor who built a conduit to supply the city with water. The wine bar and restaurant opened in 2015, with a handful of coveted outdoor tables for warmer months and plenty of light streaming into the bar through the large front windows. The food is bistro-style and unapologetically wine-centr...

Phone: +44 20 3937 5086
Address: 92 Kensington Park Rd, London
Best Riesling Wine List UK, presented by Dr. Lippold 2026
Core by Clare Smyth has achieved a lot after its opening in August 2017, including being awarded two stars from the Michelin Guide. The menu offers a la carte and a short and long tasting menu with optional wine pairings of 100ml per course. One of South Africa’s (and beyond) best sommeliers, Gareth Ferreira, is behind the wine list. It has more than 400 bins covering the most important wine regions around the World and a generous number of wines by the glass, allowing the sommeliers to offer varied and exciting options with your tasting menu. If you´re seeking a top fine-dining experience in...

![Les 110 de Taillevent, a restaurant in London, UK.]()
Phone: +44 20 3141 6016
Address: 16 Cavendish Square, London
Best By-the-Glass List UK, presented by Lingua Franca 2026
This is the sister establishment of Parisian Michelin restaurant Le Taillevent. Set in the site of an old bank in the heart of London, by Oxford Circus, the striking display of bottles behind the bar instantly signifies its wine focus. Ceiling-high windows create spaciousness yet the atmosphere remains welcoming. The kitchen delivers unpretentious but poised French dining, with both an à la carte and tasting menu (with a vegan option). Service is genuine and unfussy, with an understanding of how to treat fine wine, and the 110 wines by the glass available in both 125ml and 70ml, which makes fo...

![Where The Light Gets In, a restaurant in Stockport, UK.]()
Phone: +44 161 477 5744
Address: 7 Rostron Brow, Stockport
Best Medium-Sized List UK, presented by Dreissigacker 2026
Housed on the first floor of a former coffee warehouse in Stockport Old Town, just outside Manchester, Where The Light Gets In is a special and unique experience. The intimate, open plan space only has 30 seats, with the kitchen team as much part of the evening as anyone else (or lunch, on Saturdays). As many ingredients as possible come from their farm and, as such, they serve a set tasting menu only. Nature, sustainability and organic nourishment are key, with a light and hyper seasonal Nordic (or perhaps Northern?) slant. Down the road, you’ll find their own bakery and wine bar named Yell...

![Exterior of Noble Rot Soho, London, UK.]()
Phone: +44 20 7183 8190
Address: 2 Greek Street, London
Best By-the-Glass List UK, presented by Lingua Franca 2026
A cosier version of the original Bloomsbury Noble Rot, this second venue in Soho’s Greek Street is located in what was a famous Hungarian restaurant, The Gay Hussar – a haunt for left-wing politicians, journalists and intellectuals from when it opened in the fifties until it closed in 2018. The building has been brought to life again with its period features renovated and interiors done to encourage customers to enjoy the atmosphere of its past at the intersection of homely food, wine and gossip. With no bar it really is a place to enjoy a meal with some good conversation – either over a well...

![The ground floor dining room of Noble Rot Mayfair, London, UK.]()
Phone: +44 020 7101 6770
Address: 5 Trebeck Street, Shepherd Market, London
Best By-the-Glass List UK, presented by Lingua Franca 2026
Part of the hugely successful Noble Rot group, this third site is located in historic Shepherd Market, where the name “Mayfair” originated. It derives from the “May Fair,” a festival held there from the 16th century until 1764 when it was discontinued for becoming too riotous. As with all Noble Rot sites, the food is exceptionally wine-friendly and the staff incredibly passionate and knowledgeable – this is the place where you could easily come away having learned something even if you consider yourself a wine buff. The iPad bottle list runs to an impressive 1,500 lines, generally arranged b...

![Claridge's Restaurant, a restaurant in London, UK.]()
Phone: +44 020 7629 8860
Address: Claridge's, Brook Street, London
Best Riesling Wine List UK, presented by Dr. Lippold 2026
Claridge’s Restaurant sits within its namesake luxury hotel in London’s Mayfair. It is the perfect place to feel both decadent and relaxed at the same time – a difficult balance and one they successfully achieve. The wine list is extensive – incredibly strong in the classic regions though there is exploration to be had. Venture into places like China or Slovenia, or take on the well-integrated skin-contact wines. Champagne is particularly well represented, with striking full-page producer features to linger over. Without favouring any one particular region, nice verticals can be discovered as...

![Interior of Row on 5 restaurant, London, UK.]()
Address: 5 Savile Row, London
Best By-the-Glass List UK, presented by Lingua Franca 2026
Located in London’s prestigious and quietly iconic Savile Row in Mayfair, this Michelin restaurant embodies luxury on many levels. Not only in the immaculate fit-out, but in the high-end, attentive service that truly defines the experience – from chefs presenting their precisely executed, seasonal British dishes to the warm front of house, whose members will even offer to dry clean your coat while you dine. Be ready for the tome-like wine list – with 2,400 listings, you will find almost anything you could wish for, be it traditional, innovative or saké. They have optimised Coravin, offering n...
