More than 60 wines by the glass, clever technology and special tasting experiences are uncorking the way people discover wine.

Tucked beneath the city in the atmospheric Dark Arches at Granary Wharf, NoNo Wine Bar is making wine discovery more approachable with a refreshingly simple philosophy – wine without barriers.

No stuffy rules. No intimidating jargon. And no need to know your Chablis from your Sancerre.

Instead, NoNo wants customers to sip back, relax and enjoy discovering something new, with more than 60 wines available by the glass and an extensive, constantly changing selection of bottles from around the world.

A world of wine tasting awaits at NoNo Wine Bar, with bottles from across the globe ready to discover. | NoNo Wine Bar,

If choosing from a wine list feels like guesswork, technology is on hand.

NoNo's interactive iPad menu and personal palate selection helps customers navigate the collection through flavours and styles they enjoy – whether they’re seasoned sippers or complete wine beginners.

There’s something for virtually every taste and budget, from affordable wines by the glass to Champagne, English sparkling, orange wines and some seriously special bottles.

Wine flights and tasting experiences add to the mix, while a partnership with BaoBros23 brings a new twist to food and wine pairing, with small plates including pork belly and brisket bao, Vietnamese salads and an indulgent Chocolate Bao Bomb. For sample menu - click here.

"The thing I love most about wine is that there's so much diversity and so much to discover, and that's exactly what I hope people will experience at NoNo,” says co-owner Polly Sands.
