Drop Shop
Wine Bar & Fine Wine Store

There’s always a message in the bottle – every wine tells a story.

It is a story of nations and forgotten wars, of sovereigns and of capital – both monetary and human. It is a story of cities and countryside, of the rich and the poor, of stone and sun, of spring and autumn. In this tale, peoples and wines come and go, the table is always generous, the glasses never stay empty for long, the music always fits, and the setting is simply perfect. It is a story of culture and of us: people who believe in something.
And we believe in fine wine.

Since 2010, as Budapest’s very first wine bar, we have been telling these stories every single day.

With us, you’ll have the chance to discover nearly two thousand years of Hungarian winemaking: native grapes you have probably never heard of, and wines whose fame spread across the royal courts of Europe for centuries. Many of our wines come from small fine growers who make only a few hundred bottles of each wine. They are usually sold only at the cellar door and in one or two fine-dining restaurants, so they never leave Hungary. Yet our passion doesn’t stop at the border. We are just as passionate about the great classic wines of Europe and the wider world—wines deeply rooted in the history and culture of their people. Among Hungarian wine lovers, we are renowned for this unique international selection, making Drop Shop the premier source for fine and rare bottles.

Our wine list changes throughout the day and offers more than 60 wines by the glass. They come from the world’s most exciting regions, finest producers and from Hungary’s best small growers, and together they make up the country’s largest international fine wine selection.

Our knowledgeable team will gladly guide you to your next favourite bottle, which you can enjoy here or take home from our shop. With it we serve carefully selected tapas: exceptional hams, cheeses, anchovies and other gourmet delicacies. Drop in for one glass or stay for the whole evening.

We’ll be glad to see you!
