Critic's choice: three wine bars

Charles Campion picks out three of the capital's best wine bars where the wine lists are impressive and the food isn't too bad either.

Cork & Bottle - full details
44-46 Cranbourn Street, WC2
Don Hewitson's cellar wine bar has stuck to its guns for a number of decades now. A good wine list, combined with sound enough food, explains its lasting appeal.
£15pp ex-drinks (020 7734 7807).

Vinoteca - full details
St John Street, EC1
Vinoteca's lengthy wine list includes all manner of rare and interesting wines from all over the world. Food comes in small dishes and provides a perfect foil for a gluggable bottle.
£17pp exdrinks (020 7253 8786).

Wine Wharf - full details
Stoney Street, Borough Market SE1
The Wharf has a long and impressive wine list which is admirably broadly based covering old and new world stalwarts. The food side of things is more practical than gastronomic.
£15pp exdrinks (020 7940 8335).
