The best wine bars in Australia, according to the experts: the Australian Good Food Guide, The 50, and Eater have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Poly comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Sydney and McLaren Vale.

Rank 1. Poly
Modern Wine Bar
Behind a Beaujolais-red door on Commonwealth Street, Poly reads as a wine bar until the food arrives and quietly takes over. The coal-fire grill drives everything, lending smoke and umami to small, shareable plates that have built a devoted following across Sydney. The wine list is genuine and well-chosen, but it knows its supporting role. Book a nook, order more than you think you need, and let the kitchen settle the debate.
