Wonder Bar

Critic's Choice

Comparisons with Fortnum & Mason’s new outlet 1707 are inevitable, but while Selfridges could be accused of clambering on to the fashionable wine bar bandwagon, the concept here was a truly original one – until it fell foul of the law. Squeezed around the store’s newly located wine department, the Wonder Bar still makes a dependable choice for an excellent selection of wines (if a predictable-looking one, given the ubiquitous Swedish sauna feel to the place). But the showpiece ‘wine jukebox’ that gave wine fans the chance to sample up to 52 fine wines in three small measures – 25ml, 75ml and 125ml – has gone, its departure forced by trading standards officials. Now just 125ml and 175ml servings are offered. Nevertheless, the bar still provides an excellent chance to taste the department’s top wines, ranging from the likes of Bonny Doon riesling (£3.35) to 2003 Vieux Telegraph Châteauneuf-du-Pape (£8.25). Yellow-fin tuna plus niçoise salad is a typical food offering.
