Weinladen Schmidt Prenzlauer Berg

We booked a wine tasting for several persons in that venue. One of us fell ill and informed the place one day ahead of the tasting that they would not be able to attend and asked for a possibility to postpone or get a voucher or one bottle of wine as a token reimbursement. The wine shop declined, showing no goodwill at all. That evening, they only put snacks for the number of attending people on the table and catered quite a few glasses of high quality wine less, so they really made a profit off the cancellation. Sure, they had to pay the sommelier, but the event would have taken place even if one person less would have bought a ticket. This behaviour is greedy and unacceptable. They lost us as customers and perhaps some of you will think twice as well.

A great place to shop for a wine or have a glass of wine inside the store/restaurant. Friendly and helpful stuff is happy to assist with a choose of wine. If you are a bit hungry, you can have different selection of small dishes to snack on with your delicious glass of wine

Great wines and very nice people. I recommend the Rioja wine Ortega Ezquerro.

A gem of a wine bar in our neighbourhood. The staff are always so knowledgeable & keep us coming back time after time. And even to go with the super gorgeous wine selection, they have some tasty snacks. The olives & truffle crisps are always a winner to help the hunger! Thanks Izzy and team …can’t wait for rose season on the terrace!

We have visited the place, ordered two glasses of wine to sit outside. Stuff was very unfriendly and service very very bad. No one ever came outside to ask us if we would need something, for each additional glass you had to go back inside and order… there were two ladies there who were definitely busy with something else and service was taking very long. Wine selection by glass is not so good… only 2 rose types.. 2 whites… Suddenly rain started, no one came to help or welcome us inside… We won’t go back there again… very disappointed with the service

Truly excellent wines, from all over Europe, with good advice from the proprietors.

We live 2 minutes from this wine shop so we really hoped it could become our local friendly winery, unfortunately as explained by many other reviewers before the quality of service is terrible, extremely rude especially the two women working in the front (which I assume are managing the place). Two examples: - We visited to buy a bottle of wine to take home, we asked for help and a guy came - after showing us two bottles he disappeared to do something else (?), so we continued to browse on our own and picked a bottle without noticing it had the price on it, when taking it to the cashier the woman scoffed and shouted at us for taking the “show bottle” and not the ones below for sale, we apologized, but if we were properly helped we would have certainly not made such mistake. - We thought our first bad experience happened just by chance and so we wanted to give it another try. On a week night (not very busy) we visited to get a quick glass of wine sitting down inside, the woman asked our vaccination card and ID, we showed it to her but she refused to accept our vaccination card because we had it saved on the phone (showing QR code, name and dose 3/3) and not on the app. We explained that our vaccination card is from another EU country and therefore we do not have the same app as here in Germany, we asked her to scan the QR code and she says that they dont have the machine to scan it (???) and told us that she could only accept it if it was printed, we explained that the printed version and the phone is the same thing as it is just a document and not signed in original by anyone. We were forced to leave as impossible to explain. Wine selection by the glass is also underwhelming: 2-3 whites, 2-3 red and 1-2 bubbly; very commercial and not researched at all. The small food that accompanies the wine is also bad (all packaged food, chips, pates served in their container with no effort to present them nicely on a plate and cold bread). Better look somewhere else as there are many good niche wine shop around Kollwitzplatz area and leave this to people impressed by a nice shop window.

Very nice selection of wine in bottles and on glass
