Wine and Taste Phuket review — why 144 reviewers give it a 4.9
Wine and Taste in Phuket scores 4.9/5 from 144 reviews, a clear signal that most visitors leave satisfied while a few report notable contradictions. This review pulls every specific detail customers reported to help you decide whether to book a table.
What kind of wine selection will you find?
Visitors praise a broad international list and name-checked labels include Cremounts and Sancerres, which signals solid representation of familiar European styles. Multiple guests said the selection feels good value and well priced.
One reviewer flagged an imbalance toward red wines and limited food options for sparkling wine; they also noted the menu includes wines from different countries. If sparkling-pairing options matter to you, treat that comment as a warning to check the menu first.
Service, staff skills and house policies
Several guests described staff as attentive, polite and friendly, and one group specifically praised bilingual service in Russian and English. At the same time, a single reviewer reported staff had almost no knowledge of wine, creating a contradiction between warmth and technical expertise.
Another practical detail surfaced: some bottles will not be opened for tasting or by-the-glass service unless staff confirm availability. Ask before ordering if you expect to taste multiple bottles or want specific glasses opened.
Food, atmosphere and sensory red flags
Food comes up regularly as a highlight; guests called dishes delicious and recommended the Margherita pizza by name. The menu mixes Italian and Asian influences, which one reviewer felt clashed with the bar’s French-style music and created a dissonant vibe.
The space itself can be used indoors or outdoors, and at least one party celebrated a birthday there and described the environment as comfortable for an evening out. Contrast that with one reviewer who found an unpleasant odor inside and outside the venue—described as smelling like vodka rubbed on the walls—and left early because of it. That smell complaint is rare among reviews but significant if you are sensitive to strong odors.
Practical visiting details
- Hours: open daily 9:30 AM to 12:00 AM.
- Payments: accepts credit cards, debit cards and NFC payments.
- Parking: free street parking available nearby.
- Price perception: several guests call the prices reasonable or good for the wine selection.
How to visit smartly — actionable tips
- If you want sparkling wine with a proper pairing, call ahead or check the current menu to confirm matching dishes exist.
- Want to taste before committing to a bottle? Ask in advance which wines will be opened by the glass; staff practices on this vary according to guests.
- Book an evening table if you prefer a relaxed, comfortable setting for celebrations; at least one group used the place for a birthday with success.
- If you are highly sensitive to smells, consider sitting outdoors or bring this up when you arrive, since one report described a persistent, unpleasant odor.
Bottom line
Wine and Taste is a highly rated wine bar in Phuket for visitors wanting familiar European labels, friendly front-of-house service and solid food — including a recommended Margherita pizza. Expect mostly consistent staff attentiveness and good-value wines, but be prepared for inconsistent sommelier-level knowledge, a restrictive bottle-opening policy in some cases, and a single report of a strong interior odor. Use the tips above to avoid the few pitfalls other guests encountered.
