No matter how much we love our cocktails, indulging in a glass of wine once in a while is worth it. And nothing can beat the romance of a fine glass of wine or the fun of a Sangria during a sundowner. A glass of wine always vanquishes the dispirited soul in me. Here are my favourite wine bars in the city.
