Great Beer, Wine Deserves Better Effort

The wine list at Wichita Brewing Co. feels like an afterthought stapled to the back of a very good beer menu. Ten options, all by the glass, covering just enough ground to say 'yes, we have wine' without committing to anything interesting. If you came here for craft beer and wood-fired pizza, you made the right call.
The list leans hard on recognizable, approachable names — Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay, J. Lohr Seven Oaks Cab, Raywood Merlot — the kind of lineup you'd find at a casual chain restaurant in 2015. There's a small nod toward Italy with Ca' del Sarto Pinot Grigio from Friuli and the Poggio Anima 'Belial' Sangiovese, which are the only bottles here with any real regional character. The 90+ Cellars Prosecco and Prosecco Rosé fill the fizz gap adequately. Beyond that, there are no bottle-only options, no vintage information, and no real depth to speak of.
All ten wines are poured by the glass in the $8–$11 range, which is honestly about right for a brewpub in Wichita. The selection doesn't rotate — what's on the menu appears to be what's always on the menu. No BTG heroes here, just workhorses.
J. Lohr Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon — $11
J. Lohr Seven Oaks is a legitimate, consistently well-made Paso Robles Cab that overdelivers at this price point. At $11 a glass in a brewpub context, it's the most credible pour on the list.
Poggio Anima 'Belial' Sangiovese
Nobody ordering pizza at a brewpub is reaching for a Sangiovese, and that's a mistake. Belial has enough bright acidity and cherry-driven fruit to cut through tomato sauce and cheese better than anything else on this list. It belongs here more than the Merlot does.
Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay
KJ Chard is the default wine order for people who don't really want wine. It's fine, technically, but it's also available at every grocery store in Kansas for $12 a bottle. Ordering it by the glass here is not a move we can endorse.
Poggio Anima 'Belial' Sangiovese + Wood-Fired Artisan Pizza
Sangiovese and tomato-based pizza are one of the more reliable combinations in the food-and-wine world — the grape's natural acidity mirrors the sauce and keeps everything fresh. It's a classic match, and it works just as well coming out of a wood-fired oven in West Wichita as it does in Florence.
❌ The Bottom Line
This is a beer destination that happens to offer wine, and the wine list makes no effort to argue otherwise. If you're here with someone who doesn't drink beer, the prices are fair enough and the J. Lohr or Sangiovese will get the job done — but don't come to Wichita Brewing Co. expecting the wine to be the story.
Revolutsia / North Downtown · Wichita · German
Prost isn't a wine destination — it's a biergarten that respects its theme enough to put a coherent German wine list on the table. The Thirsty Thursday bottle deal is legitimately good, and if you show up on the right night with the right dish, you'll leave happier than you expected.

The Belmont is a perfectly fine place to drink wine in Wichita — the Tuesday half-price bottle deal legitimately rescues the steep markups and makes it worth a visit. Just arrive with low expectations for discovery and high expectations for a good time.

Wasabi Hinkaku isn't a wine destination, but it doesn't pretend to be — and the pricing is honest enough to earn some respect. Show up on a Tuesday when the wine chiller special is running and you've got yourself a solid weeknight deal.

BJ's is a beer restaurant with a wine list that exists so people don't feel left out. If you're here for the Pizookie and a cold craft brew, you've made the right call — but if wine is your priority, East Wichita has better options.

We wouldn't send a friend here for the wine — we'd send them to a grocery store if Barefoot is the goal. Order a cocktail, enjoy the Riblets, and accept the wine list for what it is: corporate wallpaper.
