Whether you’re an oenophile or a burgeoning wine enthusiast, there’s nothing better than enjoying a bottle of wine with a delicious meal – except for maybe enjoying that same bottle of wine at half the price. Luckily, there are many Austin restaurants that offer half-priced wine bottles in the city. There are daily happy hours, like cocktail pub Drink.Well, or Wine Wednesday specials, like fancy hotel restaurant Garrison or South Austin wine garden Lenoir. So there are zero excuses not to sniff, swirl, and sip your way through wine.

For more wine takes, scope out Eater's guide to the best wine lists in town and wine and cheese spots. Then there are the city's best happy hours, and cocktail bars essential and new.
