At every “wine bar” ever

Dark wood/black paint

not very nice stuffed olives, to get specific on the nibbles.

One of the nicest wine bars I ever went to did beautiful home made ravioli as the nibbles.

A pudgy dude in sandals eating a pizza

people on tinder/hinge/bumble etc. first-dates

several boring cheeses that are available in that little "fancy case" at your local supermarket, served on a board with some salami, a couple olives and maybe some apricot jam or some other bullshit

chalkboard menu with scriptish yet informal looking writing

Glass of wine from $20 bottle: $14

Wanna see some extra fig jam on that charcuterie plate buddy

Reading this thread I've realized I've got no idea what goes on in wine bars.

ey ey steady on this is baby bathwater territory

it doesn’t make sense but... disquieting calm

I was at a wine bar Saturday night and the people at the table next to us had a plate of burrata that was so pretty and voluptuous and they didn't touch it for about 20 minutes! I was staring so hard at it that a guy at the table was like "oh, it's very good, thumbs up." I thought he was going to offer me a bite. I would've only been a little embarrassed.

seltzer

alco

"surprising" non-bottle options, e.g. card swipe wine dispenser machine or house wines on tap

a table with absurd wine accessories for sale: travel sized wine aerator, bedazzled foil cutter, thick book about wine, CO2 wine opener, "smart" looking decanter, etc.

no Michigan wines on the menu*

*unless you are at a wine bar in Michigan

A first date

chill downtempo beats with harp samples etc

ahah so true. And kinda weird when you think they've been playing the same kind of ibiza music since... the 90s !
These Cd compilations were well worth it.

Dude At tha bar drinking scotch
It me

Ace of Base

underpouring the only beer on the menu

dogeared table promo stands for a wine you have never heard of, and will never again

aren't you supposed to be asking the drunk a question

Right you are. I can attest that the drunk is highly questionable and gives more or less coherent answers, at all stages prior to finally achieving catatonia, and the finality even of this stage is usually temporary. (nudges said drunk experimentally, eliciting mumbles) All good to go!

An eternally flushing toilet

How do u think the wine is made
