Rhone Wine Merchant

Part bottle shop, part wine bar, this Moray Street operation describes itself as a neighbourhood wine house — a description that holds up in a New Farm strip more often associated with brunch spots than serious drinking. The by-the-glass list changes often, tied to allocation and season rather than a fixed menu, and the retail shelves stretch to around 1,500 labels across styles and price points. Food is deliberately minimal, chosen to sit alongside the wine program rather than compete with it. Large glass windows onto Moray Street mean the bottle displays double as a shopfront, an open invitation to browse rather than the members-only feel some wine bars fall into. Open Tuesday to Sunday, into the evening. Useful for New Farm locals wanting a bottle to take home or a glass on the way past, and a reasonable base for exploring Brisbane's inner-north wine scene more broadly.
