Wein & Co (Schottentor)
Wein & Co is the best-known wine retail chain in Vienna. Their assortment runs wide and deep and I’ve found plenty of treasures here. Each store comes with a dedicated wine bar featuring thirty or so by-the-glass options, both Austrian and foreign. My favorite one is by Schottentor, recently revamped and with big windows that overlook the Ringstraße and Heinrich von Ferstel’s 1883 Renaissance Revival masterpiece, the University of Vienna. It’s about the wines, but please don't leave without ordering a toasted ham and cheese sandwich.
