Love love love the Twisted Vine. A great place to enjoy a wine experience alone or with friends. It is an Intimate setting, friendly, with incredible very knowledgeable service. Listen to their recommendations and you will be pleased. The team reflects the owners wine passion. Robin has an amazing vision for wine connoisseurs platform and guests experience. Sam is so engaging and compliments the wine experience. You owe it to yourself to experience and to learn of their new growth initiatives. Take your friends! I went twice recently on a visit from California. It is a tradition every return to Columbus. Cheers! read more

Cute little wine shop in the Upper Arlington area. GreaT selection of wine, beer and even cigars. If you do not want what they are pouring that night you can buy a bottle and enjoy there. Never been impressed with there chosen pours and prefer to just buy a bottle. Normally they have a little cheese/crackers out. Comfy areas to sit and visit and drink with friends. read more

The Twisted Vine - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

My book club chose this spot for our meeting and I couldn't have been more pleased! I'm not a huge wine fan but I know a large selection when I see one and theirs was huge! Immediately upon entering a lady came over to tell me about the place and asked how many were in my party and brought over water. They weren't serving wine by the glass that night but a few of us split a few bottles. Beer and mixed drinks were available for purchase from the bar as well. Their wine ranges in price so you can go on the lower end or higher, whatever fits your budget and taste buds. I found street parking but I believe there was a lot for a few cars out back as well. Cute little neighborhood place! read more

The Twisted Vine - Inside - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Great selection, freindly ambiance, almost always always knowledgable staff. NOT intimidating.

The building that now houses this fine and friendly wine shop/bar is something of note in the annuals of Ohio aqua vitae: a joint that once hollowed this ground was the first to secure a liquor license after the repeal of prohibition. So this IS alcohol numero uno for the Buckeye State--though building goes back longer to the beginnings of the 20th Century long before the street on its left, Wyandotte, existed. Such a historical address deserves a high quality shop of the blessed vine. From my visit last week, my first, The Twisted Vine meets this requirement. It's a wine seller with a bar inside--wall shelves and case stacks over flowing with bottles of bubbles breaking on the brim and cabinets stuffed with fancy cigars. All in a Italian vino dressed room with comfy parlors and seating vignettes layed in the front. Center is the bar which was staff by an uber-knowledgeable sever on my visit, almost as if sent from central casting perfect to play an owner of a rustic Château in Napa Valley she relayed her vast expertise and opinion to my cohort and I with warmness, love of wine, and charm. For starters we ordered a white flight ($9). From sweet to dry served in an order so the flavors won't interfere with each other, the flight featured wines I never had before. Such as the Hungarian Evolucio Furmint, featuring a slightly dry finish with apricot and citrus touches. It was a nice glass. Another was an outside the Rhone Viognier from Chile that was as lush and soft as its Chardonnay cousin. The last was more familiar, an Argentine Sauvignon Blanc--but this one had a nice tropical after-tone that infused its typical dryness with a balanced counter melody of taste. It was a lovely flight. I also finished off a wonderful glass of Sangria which if they still have 'on tap' I highly recommend. Of course, you can have any bottle of wine for a cork fee of $5. We tried an interesting first in Moscato--a bottle that is popped openned via a bottle opener, like a soda bottle. I liked it. Though for someone like me extra particular about the glass drinks are served I do not know if I can accept carbonation in my wine. It was kinda like a really, really, up scale wine cooler that tasted like the actual Moscato. Seems like a fun spot. A good of regs turn up from parts unknown on Thursdays, they day we came, and they were late having our wine server worried. So a tight nit clique hangs here cool. Great place, great wine, good for a drink or to grab a bottle. Five stars. read more

See all

Great little spot with a great wine selection and knowledgeable staff. We look forward to returning!

Great place! Enjoyed our meal and atmosphere was great! We will definitely be back. Definitely a place to visit!

Lovely, quaint little neighborhood wine store. Visited several times while visiting my sister just down the street, and the staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. They made sure to get us cold bottles of the white wine, and offered great recs on a summer champagne read more

Great little place for wine. Not a lot of parking options though. As far as seating goes, you can sit at the counter and there are also some tables. I think it's a good place to meet someone one-on-one. I like the ambiance and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Lots of wine options. You can pick your own bottle, have a wine flight or buy a glass. There's also snacks! 5/5 stars. read more

Simply the best... wonderful and knowledgeable people who actually get to know you and your tastes. No reason to go anywhere else Still the best. They knew their profession. Remember their customers and humbly share their exquisite knowledgeable wine in a helpful and generous way read more

I selected a bottle of wine from top of the stack in a circular dispenser and 3 or more bottles came tumbling out. Stress! Replace or repair, please. read more

This has got to be one of the most unique wine bars I have ever seen. This time when I say unique, I don't mean artsy. Most wine bars have a bit of flair. I think it's expected now. Twisted actually doesn't. In fact my friends and I have mentioned before that maybe they could put in softer lights, paint the white walls, add some rugs, hang some art, basically anything to change what's there. Why do we feel the need to make a change, I don't know. What they have there is pretty special. Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings (until 9p) they have wine flights for $10. They have a red flight and a chilled or white flight, three glasses each. Seriously! THREE glasses of wine for TEN DOLLARS. Is there anywhere else in the city who can beat that? If so, please let me know. They provide cheese and crackers too, how sweet. The owners are so flexible. You can bring in your own food. Order a pizza from Rotolo's across the street or even bring in your leftover pot roast from dinner the night before. Anything goes, just don't think you can bring in your mama's bottle of wine and cozy up on their plush sofa. That obviously won't fly. read more

The Twisted Vine - wider shot, next to Trader Tots - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This place is amazing! I went in with my list of general wines I wanted to try and "Fergie" saved the day! She was amazing. She helped me select the wines, and even walked me to the car. read more

Don't give "Katie B."'s review any attention. They have no idea what they are talking about and if there was Yelp for people she'd get one star. They came in, acted like idiots cause the hours of an establishment didn't meet their needs and left shouting rude things to some of the nicest people I've ever met. The Twisted Vine has five of the most incredible, kind, knowledgeable, and helpful staff in Columbus. They know everything about everything about wine, and share their expertise and kindness with everyone who walks through the door. This is the place I come to first when I have a great day, a bad day, or just want to be somewhere where I belong. Come to The Twisted Vine (I'll prolly be there.) and see for yourself. read more

One of the best places to shop for wine with knowledgeable staff that offer great advice on selections. Lisa was wonderful in assisting us with our choices read more

Amazing, friendly, knowledgeable local wine store. So nice, helpful, and a great selection!! Highly recommend!!! :-)

Just to add a correction to the already posted reviews. The Beers "ARE" able to be consumed there. Don't know why the one review said they can't. Not a Huge sellection. But a very good sellection. And like the wines, they rotate new beers on a regular basis. If you haven't been in for a while. They Have done some more updating inside, and outside as well. New ceiling and lighting inside. And they have just finished a nice update on the outside with new, siding, paint. Hopefully there will be an outdoor patio added soon. They have been working with the City on this. And hopefully soon, there will be a wrap around patio that will give the Cigar smokers a place to smoke. Around the corner away from the front of course. If you haven't been in for a while to see the updates, now's the time. read more

The Twisted Vine - A little afternoon bubbly at The Vine! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Super cute winery! I was looking for a particular wine and they didn't have it, but the lady there gave me a similar wine. I'll definitely go back. read more

There are a lot of things that come with having a California license plate still attached to my car -- among them: 1) The stigma that I am a terrible driver 2) The idea that I have several movie stars as neighbors 3) I am an incredible wine snob. While the first two are questionable, the third is absolutely right on. And while Giant Eagle and Kroger have very fine wine sections, there's something about the a favorite bottle of wine that brings you back -- especially in the holiday season. If you've driven down Fifth Avenue as a way to escape some of the traffic through Grandview Heights, you've passed The Twisted Vine. Its at a most inconspicuous place, nestled in between restaurants, a cleaners, and even a consignment shop nearby. Its a quiet store, seemingly oblivious to the traffic buzzing on the street nearby. However, walking inside could be considered the equivalent of walking straight into one of Santa Barbara's finest tasting rooms. A rich smell fills the room when you walk in, as you are immediately surrounded by wines from all over the world. You'll notice the wines sorted by region and color, but the center of your attention will be the wine bar in the middle of the room. Their specials and bottles are posted in front, and their selections never disappoint. The quality continues with quite a selection of cigars, as well as fine beers in back (the beers can't be drank in store, and State and City law prohibit smoking in liquor establishments). While the decor sometimes leaves something to be desired (looking at wine bottles on all sides is a little intimidating at times), the staff knows their wines. Give them a hint to what you are looking for, and they'll be sure to point you in the right direction. You can be more economic by shopping for wine online (yes, you can do that in this state), but for the friendly staff and clean decorum, and the immediate gratification of bringing home a tasty bottle of wine can't be beat. If you're looking for a escape from the city life, and a fun way to get away from the weather for just a couple hours at the time, I highly recommend The Twisted Vine! read more

Large selection of wine .. they have a wine bar , tables, comfy chairs to sit and enjoy your purchase. The also have a humidor with quite a large selection of cigars. If you are not sure what you like wine wise , they have flights. There are a few seats outdoors if you want to light up that cigar you just bought. Parking out back but just a handful of spots . Highly recommend the Twisted Vine in Grandview. read more

This is my absolute favorite date spot in Grandview. My husband and I love to go on Thursday night to enjoy a flight of wine and learn something new about wine. We are beginners surrounded by experts eager to share their knowledge and recommendations. My other favorite part of Twisted Vine is going in and asking, "can I have a bottle of wine for around $10 that is like a pinot grigio?" Every time I'm handed a bottle of wine that is unexpected and exceptional. I would never pick out these bottles on my own. It's definitely worth a trip. read more

A small, but well-curated, shop with an excellent selection of (among other things) Italian reds. The owner is friendly, likes wine, knows a lot about it, has good advice, and doesn't do a hard sell. He has a separate selection of lower-priced bottles that is well-chosen and a good complement to the rest. A lot of interesting and out-of-the-ordinary bottles in the $17+ range. I picked up two cases on my way back to the Socialist Republic of Pennsylvania (government-run liquor stores only), and at just under $20/bottle they have been fantastic so far. Friendly crowd at the bar. read more

Great little place in Grandview. Very knowledgeable on their stock and friendly. The offer "happy hour" specials, wine flights, have a fine selection of wine, champagne, and sparkling wines. Subscribe to the weekly newsletter to see what the specials. They even have a bar (they claim to make a fantastic Manhattan cocktail...on my todo list). It is a bit out of the way but worth the trip. Hungry? You can order food from the restaurant 2 doors down...they keep a menu handy! read more

Love evenings at the Vine.. The staff here knows their stuff and are more than happy to point you in the direction of something great if you let them know what you like.. As mentioned before their flights are inexpensive an usually have at least two wines of interest if not all three... All in all it's a good place to relax with friends, learn about wine and possibly even take a few bottles home with you... read more

Love this place! Friendly staff and stocked with a wide variety of wine. I went in for Luxardo cherries and they had Manhattan kits premade with cherries, bitters and vermouth for the holidays. They have wine flights and by the glass at the bar available if you want to have a drink. Also, I love the cigar shop in the back to pick up a cigar or two for my boyfriend when I stop by. The owner was super helpful and had great recommendations on what to buy. Off street parking is available behind the shop off 5th. read more

Fantastic selection and world-class service! Thank you for being so accomodating and helpful -- it really means a lot to my family. Best wishes for continued success in the Central Ohio market. read more

The Twisted Vine - Love! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Great atmosphere! The patrons were all so happy and friendly I felt like I was an old friend instead of it being my first time. The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend bringing food in and enjoying a bottle of wine or a couple of flights! read more

Still worth five stars. Nathan, who works on Saturdays, is a sweetheart and incredibly knowledgeable about the wines. Still five stars. Love this place. read more

We love this wine shop turned tasting room! If you are nearby this is a must! The couple that runs it is so sweet and knowledgeable and prides themselves on offering good wine suggestions at all price points! Upon leaving we grabbed a 10$ bottle to go based on their recommendation that was so good I'm going right back to grab more! The wine shop is open during the week but only does tastings thurs thru sat. You can buy a cheese plate if you end up there longer than you planned which happens to us all the time. Also they have beers and cocktails for anyone in the group not into wine. read more

The Twisted Vine - White flight - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I wanted to try a new place and this happened to be convenient. I was a little nervous when we got the wine tasting menu and were informed that there were only a couple sweet wines. I ended up tasting a new sparking wine (8.50 to try but buying the bottle was 5.99) and my husband tried the white flight ($10). I was pleasantly surprised by the dry wines and the variety that they provide. The environment is perfect for book club meetings or even study sessions. They also have a small area dedicated to cigars if that's something that interests you. read more

Sorry - I have to have food with my drink or I get loopy... this place tries to serve appetizers on Fridays for Happy Hour - they just don't quite keep up with the crowd (and they don't have a menu to order food from). Evil stares, and subtle hints don't seem to work for the cheese and crackers refill queue - and an outright polite request for food refills was returned with service 15 minutes later after stopping to talk to the other staff members, slowly check someone else out, making a comment to me that was slightly disparaging (about the drink I had ordered, not knowing... I don't go there every day), and then finally getting someone else to stock the cheese and crackers... my friends and I left at this point... wanted to have a little light hearted drink before dinner, not have to starve and work for snacks. read more

My girlfriend and I have been going here for months. Great selection of wine, cigars and craft beer from around the world. Robin is highly knowlegable of wine and has great taste. Great prices and friendly staff! read more

Need a quiet oasis where you can meander through flights of great wine and nice people? Come here... Now! This place is weirdly located in an unassuming strip on west side of 5th Ave in Grandview but is worth the trek. They have well paired flights that swap out frequently along with complementary cheese and crackers. As a bonus for your beer swaggling (yep just made up that word) husbands, you'll find a beer cooler with a decent selection and a humidor with ample selections of cigars. Also, there's a sweet check in coupon for 20% off a flight-- use it! read more

Kirk, the co-owner, is amazing - super helpful and knowledgeable about all things wine. What a great atmosphere! The crowd is vivacious and eclectic. If you are interested in taking in central Ohio's best wine shop and enjoying gorgeous wine in a marvelous space, then the Twisted Vine is the perfect spot. Also, don't miss the sparkling wine selection. It is the city's best! read more

Nice selection of wine and friendly, knowledgable owners. Need a tip for a drinkable bottle? Stop in. Like Home Depot, though, you will want to steer clear of any of the younger staff: no amount of enthusiasm makes up for real experience. Twisted Vine offers wine flights but it is sort of like drinking wine at an East German co-op; Ellen's summary about the decor sums it up... you simply cannot create a comfortable, laid back atmosphere under the coldly relentless glare of fluorescent lights. read more

I live in Warren, Ohio, a three-hour drive from Columbus. A few years ago, I was on my yearly trip to the capitol city when I needed to find a place to wash a few articles of clothing. While waiting for my clothes to dry, I decided to step outside for a change of scenery. That was the beginning of a new relationship. I look next door, and what does this wine lover notice, but a wine store. After stepping inside, I am further inticed by what I see happening in the store: a wine taste. Needless to say, my clothes would be neglected by me as I decided to savor a flight of reds. The Twisted Vine has a friendly and knowledgeable staff, and personable patrons who make out-of-towners such as myself feel at home. Now, whenever I'm in Columbus, I visit the vine for sumptuous samplings of my favorite beverage, my passion, my wine. Don't change a thing, Twisted Vine; Everything about your wine shop is enticing, from your wide selection of wines to your friendly and knowlegeable staff, and of course, your jovial patrons. I will tell all of my Youngstown-Warren friends about Columbus's best wine experience: The Twisted Vine. read more

Had to write my first review after stopping by this place. Me and my girlfriend stopped by on a Saturday night to get a bottle of wine, the staff was extremely helpful and knowledgable. We ended up staying and trying their flights that they have Thursday through Saturday from 5-9. They also stated they change them every week. It's a tad small but very nice and comfortable. They have a nice bar area or a few tables with more comfortable seating. The prices were very reasonable and they even had a beer fridge in the back where you can try a bottle of something without having to buy a six pack. Will definitely be going back. read more

Great selection of wines. I love a dry Rose, and they had plenty of choices. Stopped in for a tasting and was pleasantly surprised they had a food truck out back that night. Excellent food.(Blu Olive) What could be better than food and wine! read more
