Our cellar philosophy...

We actively seek unique and expressive wines from around the world that demonstrate value, quality and a sense of place. The Wine Bistro works closely with all of Ohio's Wine distributors to bring these quality wines to our customers. The Wine Bistro respects passion and commitment in the wine making and distribution process and openly engages those wine professionals that share these core values. Our customer's satisfaction is our ultimate goal.

Our Pricing
Our goal is to make your exploration of our wine selection as affordable as possible.  The Wine Bistro sells all wines at the 'state minimum price’ set by the State of Ohio.   This is the lowest possible retail price for wine sold in the State of Ohio. 

What is The Wine Bistro 'Corkage Fee?'
If you choose to open and enjoy your purchased wine selection at The Wine Bistro, we are permitted to charge a 'corkage fee' in addition to the state minimum price.  The corkage fee is intended to support the service we offer beyond that of a retail-only spirits store.  The corkage fee helps us provide knowledgeable waitstaff and superior kitchen service.

The Wine Bistro corkage fee is a reasonable $8.00 per opened bottle.  The fee is only added to the state minimum price when you choose to open bottles you purchase during your Wine Bistro visit.  This fee does not apply to unopened bottles you purchase for consumption at home or elsewhere.  For retail purchases destined for later consumption, you will always pay only the state minimum price.

What is 'No Corkage Fee Night?'
As a thank you to our regular guests, we set aside Monday and Tuesday evenings as 'No Corkage Fee' nights.  On these evenings, the corkage fee is waived and you are welcome to enjoy state minimum pricing on opened bottles with no additional $8.00 corkage fee.

Are guests permitted to take home their unfinished bottles of wine?
Our guests are welcome to take home their unfinished bottles of wine.  The state allows us to re-seal your purchase for transport.  Please do not hesitate to request the re-sealing of  purchased wines for your further enjoyment.

We hope this helps explain our pricing and our Corkage Fee.   We welcome your feedback and suggestions.
