Orange wine has officially moved beyond the 'what actually is it?' stage in Manchester. What started as a niche pick for natural wine obsessives has now taken over some of the city’s best bars and restaurants.

And, on that note, here’s where to drink the best orange wine in the city right now...

Flawd
Perched right on Ancoats Marina, Flawd is known for its cracking selection of natural wines and low-intervention bottles as well as a chalkboard that rarely misses. Orange wine sits comfortably amongst the shelves of reds and whites but be sure to ask for some help at the bar if you're in need.

9 Keepers Quay, Manchester M4 6GL

Kerb
This Ancoats spot is one of the coolest bars in the city, and they also serve up some proper good skin contact wines without overcomplicating things. Expect a rotating list and some very friendly staff who will be more than happy to steer you in the right direction when it comes to their orange vino options.
04 Henry St, Ancoats, Manchester M4 5DD

10 Tib Lane
Part restaurant, part wine spot, 10 Tib Lane is a go-to when it comes to orange wine, which is often served alongside some super thoughtful small plate pairings.

ad hoc

This independent bottle shop and bar is all about premium wines, beers and spirits from all around the world.Complete with friendly knowledgeable staff, an effortlessly industrial chic decor, tasteful music and even tastier wines, it's no wonder that Ad Hoc is everyone's go-to date spot. The wine list shifts often, and orange wines tend to appear when least expected, which suits the place.

Isca
This lovely little Levenshulme wine bar is worth making the trip for. Their forte is natural wine, served alongside some delicious organic food pairings.
1032 Stockport Rd, Manchester M19 3WX

Atomeca
Dark, moody, and built for long wine sessions, Atomeca is a well-known haunt for those who are into their wines. The orange variety sits neatly within a broader natural selection that changes often enough to keep regulars guessing.

Reserve Wines
Half bottle shop, half bar, orange wine is a constant fixture here at Reserve, with staff happy to talk you through styles without the lecture.
