If you’re constantly on the hunt for charming intimate spots and ‘if-you-know-you-know’ venues to show off to your friends, then we’ve got just the new opening for you. One of London’s smallest wine bars has just opened up in Fitzrovia, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Soho. But what it may lack in stature, it more than makes up for with flavour-packed food and Latin American warmth. Allow us to introduce the rather appropriately (and adorably) named new spot, Tiny Wine.
The new venue comes from Maria Yanez and Carlos Socorro, founders of the Latin American restaurant group Crudo Cocina Latina. The new wine bar/shop has taken over what was originally the Fitzrovia Crudo site. And it’s small in size but big on wine. The carefully curated selection spans classic styles as well as lesser-known grapes and producers. They’re keen to spread their enthusiasm, too, inviting newbies and vinophiles alike to taste and discover new wine.

Now, at Tiny Wine, they want to ensure that wine-lovers can bring their grape-averse friends without anyone feeling left out. As such, the menu also features “an eclectic mix of spritzes, negronis and beers, including a tequila ginger spritz, spicy margarita spritz and mezcal negroni.” That way everyone’s sure to find a drink that they’ll like. (But while you’re there, why not try out a few wines and see if they can change your mind?)
To keep appetite’s sated as you stay seated for “maybe just one more drink”, Tiny Wine serves up a variety of sharing-focused dishes. And there’s no need to faff about with cutlery. The handheld-focused menu can be finangled into your awaiting yaw without any need to put your drink down. The menu includes bar snacks like Latin American-influenced Gildas and Bocadilllos (aka gourmet mini sandwiches) as well as plenty of tapas dishes. Don’t miss the Miami-inspired sandwiches on the menu, either. If we had to pick just one, we’d recommend the Cubanito, with pulled pork, honey ham, cheese, Dijon mustard, and pickles.

Said Maria Yanez, Co-Founder of Tiny Wine: “We’re very excited to be launching Tiny Wine as a brand new concept. Tiny Wine was born from a love of the little things: small producers, cosy spaces and great conversation. The Fitzrovia space felt like the perfect home for a wine bar that’s all about big flavours in small pours and bold Latin American bites.”
So what do you say, fancy a glass of wine? Or four? Then head on down to Tiny Wine.
