The wine list at Eclipse di Luna reads exactly like you'd expect from a buzzy tapas spot — approachable, familiar labels, nothing that's going to make you text your wine-obsessed friend in a panic. It's a list built for groups who want to order a bottle and not overthink it, which is honestly fine for a Tuesday night out.
Thirty-six labels sounds respectable until you realize most of them are names you've seen on a grocery store end cap — Nobilo, Alamos, Clos du Bois, Hahn. There are a few flashes of something more interesting, like the Nortico Rías Baixas Albariño and the Anares Rioja Red Reserva, which actually make sense on a Spanish tapas menu. The Ports & Sherries section is a nice touch — rare enough in Atlanta that it earns some goodwill, and genuinely appropriate for the format. No deep cellar, no Old World rabbit holes, but the list isn't trying to be that.
Thirty by-the-glass options out of 36 total labels is essentially the whole list, which tells you something — this place wants you drinking by the glass and ordering more rounds as the tapas keep coming. Prices run $9 to $13, which is honest for Atlanta in 2024. The selection rotates little to never, so don't show up expecting surprises.
Nortico Rías Baixas Albariño — $13/glass
Albariño and tapas is a no-brainer combination, and at $13 a glass you're getting a wine with real regional character — saline, bright, food-friendly — not just another supermarket white. It's the one pour on this list that actually reflects the restaurant's concept.
Anares Rioja Red Reserva
Most tables are going to default to the Malbec or the Cab, but the Rioja Reserva is the one bottle that actually belongs on a Spanish tapas menu. Tempranillo with some age on it, earthy and structured, and most people will walk right past it.
Clos du Bois Buttery Chardonnay
The name tells you everything you need to know. Heavily oaked, aggressively buttery, and it fights with virtually everything on a tapas menu. You can find this at Kroger. There's no reason to order it here.
Flaco Tempranillo + Jamón and Manchego board
A simple, fruit-forward Tempranillo with a charcuterie spread is the whole point of a Spanish tapas bar. The wine's soft tannins don't bully the cheese, and the salt from the jamón makes the fruit pop. It's uncomplicated in the best way.
The Bottom Line
Eclipse di Luna's wine list gets the job done — fair prices, plenty of glass options, and just enough regional nods to not feel completely generic. It's not a destination for wine, but it's not a penalty either.
· Atlanta · Italian bakery and cafe
Rosetta Bakery has no business having a wine list this considered. Eight labels, nearly all pourable by the glass, priced so fairly it almost seems like a mistake — and anchored by producers like Monchiero Carbone and Antica Fratta that would look at home on a dedicated wine bar menu. If you're nearby and want a glass of something genuinely Italian and genuinely good without paying downtown wine bar prices, this is your spot.

Smyrna · Atlanta · New American
Muss & Turner's isn't a wine destination, but it's not trying to be — and that honesty is oddly refreshing. If you're in Smyrna on a Tuesday, the reported wine-focused night is reason enough to show up early, grab a seat, and let the shrimp and grits do the heavy lifting while you figure out what's on the list.

Soho's wine list is built for people who already know what they like — California reds, recognizable labels, no curveballs. The markup is real (Faust at $132/bottle and Moët at $138 are tough to justify), but the by-the-glass depth gives you flexibility to stay in a reasonable range. If you're here for the food and want a no-drama pour, you'll find it — just don't come expecting discovery.

St. John's is running a lean, all-by-the-glass program that's more considered than it looks at first glance — a Vouvray, a Barolo, and an aged Languedoc Syrah on a 14-bottle list isn't an accident. The lack of bottle service is a real limitation for a French dinner, but if you're grazing through courses and glasses, the pricing stays honest. Worth a visit if you want something beyond the usual steakhouse pour.

Buckhead · Atlanta · French-American
St. John has the bones of a place worth drinking well at — a thoughtful regional spread, a dining room that takes itself seriously, and a menu built for wine-friendly food. But without confirmed list details or pricing, we can't promise the experience lives up to the setup. Go for the Welsh Rarebit and the mood, and ask your server what they're excited about on the list — that answer alone will tell you what kind of night you're in for.

· Atlanta · Southern breakfast and lunch
Bantam + Biddy is a perfectly decent brunch spot that simply has no interest in wine — and that's fine, but you should know going in. If your table is splitting Mimosas and splitting biscuits, great. If you want an actual glass of wine with your eggs, eat somewhere else.

Belmont · Charlottesville · Spanish Tapas
Mas Tapas is the kind of place that earns a Wild Card badge because nobody walks in expecting a 2008 Priorat and a serious Galician white selection in a Belmont neighborhood spot. The markups keep it from being a destination for bottle hunters, but the by-the-glass depth and Spain-first focus make it one of the more interesting wine experiences in Charlottesville.

Aventura isn't trying to be a wine destination, but its all-Spain list is focused and fairly priced in a way that makes the wine program feel like an asset rather than an afterthought. Take a date, order the Albariño, and work through the tapas menu.
