Cucina's Wine, Beer and Flights page is the restaurant's own wine list, and the restaurant describes it as award-winning. It is organized by style and region: sparkling and champagne, rosé, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, pinot gris and grigio, interesting whites, then pinot noir, syrah and shiraz, Italy, Spain, interesting reds, merlot, cabernet, France and South America, with ports and dessert wines at the end. Each wine carries two numbers, such as 11 | 53, and the page does not label them. The list is undated, so confirm what's pouring when you visit.
The sparkling section includes a Willm Blanc de Blancs Brut from Alsace at 11 | 53, a Gruet rosé from New Mexico at 15 | 77 and a La Cacciatora Lambrusco at 8 | 40. The interesting whites cover a Domaine Giraudon Aligoté from Burgundy at 11 | 53, a Secateurs Chenin Blanc from South Africa at 13 | 67, a Vietti Arneis at 15 | 77 and an Aichenberg Grüner Veltliner at 8 | 40. On the red side, Italy has a Vietti Perbacco Barolo and a Benanti Nerello Cappuccio from Sicily, each at 18 | 90, and Spain has a Bodegas Muga Rioja Reserva at 19 | 93. The cabernet section has a Daou at 15 | 77 and a Brady at 19 | 97, and the interesting reds include a Château Musar Levantine at 18 | 90. The first numbers on the list run from 8 to 19 and the second numbers from 40 to 97.
The page does not say what its two numbers mean, so ask which one is the glass price. It does describe Wine Flights, Sunday to Thursday only, at $17 for any three by-the-glass wines in 2 oz pours. Ports and dessert wines carry a single price, such as 14 for a Dows 10 year tawny port.
The Bottom Line
A long list organized by style and region, with two-number prices running from 8 | 40 to 19 | 97 and a $17 flight of any three by-the-glass wines on Sunday through Thursday. Start with the 8 | 40 Aichenberg Grüner Veltliner or the 11 | 53 Giraudon Aligoté, and ask which number is the glass price before you order.

Unknown · Salt Lake City · Contemporary American
A bottle-only list that runs from $57 to $1,988, with no by-the-glass section posted. Start with the 2020 CVNE Crianza at $57/bottle or the 2013 López de Heredia at $145/bottle, and confirm today's list because it carries no print date. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Central City · Salt Lake City · Greek
A short, Greek-focused list (with one bottle from Cyprus) that is easy to scan from light to full. Start with the Skouras Moschofilero or the St. George Agiorgitiko at $15 a glass, then ask about the rotating glass; if you bring your own bottle, the list posts a $15 corkage fee that is waived when you buy a bottle in house. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown · Salt Lake City · Japanese and Sushi
A small wine list tucked behind a bigger sake list: 14 wines, most posted at $12 to $16 for the first number, with Veuve Clicquot at $130 on top. Start with the Simonet Blanc de Blancs or the Redhawk Riesling alongside nigiri, and ask which of the two numbers is the glass price. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Main Street Historic District · Salt Lake City · Contemporary American
A California-leaning list with glass pours from $17 to $55 and bottles that run from $60 to a $900 Opus One. Start with the $60 André Brunel Côtes du Rhône white, or go for the $185 Dutton-Goldfield Dutton Ranch Pinot Noir, and confirm prices because the restaurant says vintages, pricing and availability change. This unrated guide covers the posted drink list, not service, storage or markups.
Downtown · Salt Lake City · Italian
A bin-numbered list with Italian reds up front and a 20-pour glass page behind it, judged only on what is posted. Start with the $15 Cascina Vèngore Arneis by the glass, or the $58 Simčič Pinot Grigio if you want a bottle, and confirm prices because the wine menu is linked as 9-16-26. This unrated guide covers the posted wine menu, not service, storage or markups.
Sugar House · Salt Lake City · Sushi
A compact nine-wine list that sits behind a sake selection the restaurant calls the largest in Utah. Order the $8.99 Scarpetta Pinot Grigio or the $9.99 d'Arenberg Sauvignon Blanc by the glass, and take the Lambrusco if you are eating richer dishes. Prices come from the restaurant's online menu, so confirm them. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
