Clean, salty, and briny—fresh anchovies are a classic natural wine pairing at Rødder og Vin. They're simple, allowing the wine to take the spotlight, and their umami richness balances acidic or funky natural wines.
Tips from diners
Order anchovies with any white natural wine—the salt and umami balance out the acidity perfectly.
The sommelier on duty builds a custom flight based on your preferences and what's recently opened. Expect natural wines from small European producers, often including funky, skin-contact, or biodynamic styles. Each flight is personalized, making Rødder og Vin feel like tasting at a friend's home.
Tips from diners
Tell the sommelier if you prefer funk or fruit-forward—they'll tailor the flight to your level of natural wine adventurousness.
A simple, warm baguette with a crackling crust and tangy, open crumb. Served with salted butter, it's the perfect grounding element for natural wine tasting—something to focus on between sips and conversation.
Tips from diners
Order bread to slow down the tasting and create natural pauses for conversation.
A fixture on the snack menu—olives brined and seasoned with herbs, sourced from quality producers. They're often served complimentary while you're deciding on wine, but worth ordering a dedicated bowl to share.
Tips from diners
Start with olives while you browse the wine list with the sommelier—they're a great palate cleaner between tastes.
A carefully composed board featuring local Danish cheeses and imported cured meats. The sommelier will suggest pairings based on what's currently open. Quality sourcing means these aren't commodity ingredients—each producer is hand-selected.
Tips from diners
The cheese board is substantial enough to share—order it as your main course alongside a flight of wine.
Rødder og Vin is both a natural wine boutique and a hole-in-the-wall bar operated by founder Solfinn Danielsen since 2014. The speakeasy sits directly next to the bottle shop at Ravnsborggade, with a small back room lined with curated wines from small European producers. A sommelier is always present to guide you through the collection or let you explore independently. The menu focuses on natural wines, ciders, and bubbles paired with simple, high-quality snacks like fresh anchovies, briny olives, sourdough, and local cheeses.
This is a tiny space with limited seating—call ahead to reserve a spot, especially for Friday and Saturday evenings.
Tuesday-Thursday evenings are quieter and ideal for a relaxed, in-depth wine tasting with the sommelier.
A flight and snacks typically costs 250-350 DKK per person—reasonable for a sommelier-guided tasting experience.
