2 many Wines - Wine Bar & Bottle Shop

You'll find yourself on Bishopthorpe Road in a neighbourhood that's become properly buzzy in recent years, and this place feels like a genuine locals' spot rather than something designed for Instagram. The setup is unfussy—bottle shop downstairs, wine bar above—which means you can either grab something to take home or settle in with a glass and let the knowledgeable crew guide you through their thoughtfully curated list. They're clearly passionate about wine without being pretentious about it, which is refreshing. The crowd skews people who actually care about what's in their glass, not just the aesthetic of drinking it.
