Given the interrupted wine-making tradition and a fairly young audience with affluence and a knack for all things cool and new, Prague has always been a haven for natural wines - if there is one area where Prague has lead rather than followed the world, it must be natural wines.

But the coronavirus pandemic means that most of the drinking has been happening at home over the last year or so, and since the pandemic has been long, and our April of 2021 incredibly cold and unwelcoming, we thought we should have a proper look at natural wine distributors that actually make deliveries to your home.

We mean, we can’t wait for the wine bars to reopen just like the other guys, but we also can’t wait empty-handed, can we? Let’s get right to it.

The interesting thing about Karlin’s Holy Foodie Trinity, i.e. Muj salek kavy, Tea Mountain and Veltlin, is that none of these places are about food. But it still lures foodies from the entire town to enjoy great coffee, tea and wine. We do love the Veltlin wine bar for many reasons, the main one being the owner, Bogdan Trojak. Bogdan is a fascinating man: a poet, a writer, a winemaker, the founder of the “Authentic” (read “natural”) winemakers and the man behind the awesome Prague Drinks Wine festival. He’s also one of the nicest people on the Prague foodie scene.
