Natural wine,
nothing to hide.
A candlelit room for low-intervention bottles. We pour the strange and the beautiful by the glass, sell what we love by the bottle, and keep the table waiting for you.

Skin Contact 101
Thursday, Jun 19 · 7:00 – 8:30pm · Maya, wine director

A small room for honest wine
Wine Time started as a wine club in a Greenpoint living room — too many bottles, too few chairs. Now it's a bar and a shop, but the idea hasn't changed: pour the things made by hand, with care, and made to be talked about. Everything is low-intervention. We'd rather a wine be a little wild than a little boring.

Hold a table
Walk-ins are always welcome at the bar. For a table — or a group of more than four — let us know you're coming.
Open till 1am on weekends
212 Franklin St, Greenpoint. The corner booth is the good one.
Loved in the neighborhood
5.0 stars across 400+ Google reviews.
The kind of place you walk into for one glass and leave three hours later. Staff guided us to bottles we'd never have found ourselves.
Best natural wine list in Greenpoint, full stop. The Thursday tastings are worth planning your week around.
Low light, good records, zero pretension. They actually explain the weird orange wine instead of making you feel dumb.
Took a date here and the candlelit corner did all the work. The cheese plate and a bottle of Lambrusco — perfect.
