Wine Not Penang

Wine Not sits upstairs from Communal Table by gēn on Lebuh Presgrave and describes itself as Penang's tasting space for natural wine. The collection focuses on low-intervention labels, biodynamic estates and boutique producers, with names such as Brand Bros, Matthias Warnung and Jauma appearing in coverage, and bottles are also sold through its online shop.

The room feels like a living room, with sofas, vinyl and shelves of bottles. Winekeeper Valen Wong, at Wine Not since 2021, guides guests to bottles by taste rather than trend, and the bar runs masterclasses, events and private hire.

It suits curious beginners and natural wine regulars looking for a relaxed glass in George Town.
