Where to Drink Wine in Chicago

"This Avondale bottle shop from Chicago hospitality veteran Dave Thompson (Lula Cafe, Cherry Circle Room) pairs a robust selection of Old and New World wines with an intimate seating area that’s ideal for meeting up with a friend or savoring a glass solo. The wine lineup emphasizes minority vintners, and horror fans (the shop is named for 1975 Italian horror icon Deep Red) will get a charge out of winks and nods to the genre." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff, Ashok Selvam

Deep Red Wine Merchant - Review - Chicago - The Infatuation

"If you like scary movies and wine, you will be excited about Deep Red Wine Merchant. It’s a small wine bar opening in Avondale named after a 1970’s Italian horror film and will feature horror-themed decorations. In addition to being able to grab a glass of wine in their intimate 12-seat space, they’ll also have a retail section where you can purchase bottles to go. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

Deep Red Wine Merchant is coming to Avondale with a horror theme - Eater Chicago

The venue features a cozy atmosphere with just 12 seats and 1,000 square feet, aiming to demystify the wine world. It highlights winemakers from marginalized communities and integrates horror references into its design, inspired by the 1975 Italian horror film Deep Red. The shop will also offer after-hours learning opportunities and a robust retail selection." - Naomi Waxman

Always a nice time at Deep Red. Dave & Spencer are amazing and have a very well curated, yet approachable wine selection. They’ll always point you in the right direction if you’re not sure what to order or which bottle to take home. They also let you bring your own snacks if you’re wanting to stay & have a couple glasses there which is killer! I’ve been to a couple of their classes and events and they never disappoint. So glad to have them in the neighborhood! 12/10 would recommend.

Amazing establishment. Love the decor and it feels so cozy. Nice neighborhood spot to enjoy a glass of wine. Owner is super knowledgeable and friendly. He helped me pick out a perfect bottle to share with my friend who isn’t always easy to please.

Wine bottle shop and wine bar - small space with a perfectly curated selection. A beautiful interior with ultra friendly staff who were happy to guide us to our choice. A unique option for the area carrying wines ranging from ~$20 a bottle to $70+. Glasses range from ~$10-$15. Bottles at the time of writing were frequently from women/minority owned winemakers. Seats are first come/first serve, and no food on site. Strongly suggest swinging by, easy five stars.

We had five glasses between the two of us this evening. Educational and delightful. If you want an approachable, clean, light night out this is a great spot. If you know wine or … don’t (like us) this is a place to learn about the regions sampled in their offerings. The design is well thought out. The curved drywall, door arches and lighting fit well together. The color scheme is inviting. They have a grab and go option for bottles. Some small snacks offered if you’re having a glass “to stay” at the tables or Bartop.

Great neighborhood wine shop - thorough selection, knowledgable staff, and amazing vibes to grab a casual or formal drink. They also have non-alcoholic options! Definitely a go-to when in Avondale!

Nice chill wine shop on Milwaukee in Avondale. My husband took our baby here for happy hour while I got my hair done across the street at Mane Refinery. So pleasant and great addition to the neighborhood.
