"By the Wine’s arched ceiling is undoubtedly its most striking design feature: row after row of green-glass wine bottles that reinforce the raison d'être of this bar in the trendy Chiado neighborhood, which belongs to the winemaking empire José Maria da Fonseca. As its name implies, wines by the glass—all from Portugal—are the name of the game here. There are also plenty of bottles. Try wines like Domini from the Douro and Puro Talha from the Alentejo. Several thousand bottles are up for grabs in the shop. Come to get good grasp of the thrilling Portuguese wine scene and try some equally impressive food in a buzzy atmosphere that puts the spotlight on one of Portugal’s oldest wine producers." - Alia Akkam
