Half-price wine in Cincinnati, Monday to Friday

Before you go

• Call first. 12 of the 33 listings live only on Instagram or Facebook, and 1 rests on reviews or local press alone. Restaurants drop wine nights quietly. A thirty-second call saves the trip.
• “Select bottles” is doing work. Forno Osteria & Bar, Rusk Kitchen + Bar, Otto's, The Silver Spring House, The National Exemplar, Butcher and Barrel and Governor's House Wine Bar limit the discount to part of the list. Ask which part before you order.
• Dine-in only at Montgomery Inn, Forno Osteria & Bar, Ferrari's Little Italy & Bakery and The National Exemplar — no carryout on the discount.
• Dilly in Mariemont takes $5 off bottles on Ladies Night, not half.
• Cork N Crust in Bellevue discounts bottles 25%, not 50%.
• Teller's of Hyde Park is closed — Al-Posto has the room now.
• Mercer Social House's own site says nothing — its Tuesday deal came from Facebook.
• E+O Kitchen is the afternoon exception. A separate column because 2–6pm is a happy hour, not a wine night — the bottle has to be ordered inside the window.

The shape of the week

Wednesday is the wine night in this town — 16 of the 33 listings. Monday has 2, Tuesday has 4, Thursday has 8, Friday has 2.

Shortest drives from Hyde Park Square: Monday, Stone Creek Dining Company at 10 mi; Tuesday, Montgomery Inn — Boathouse at 5 mi; Wednesday, Forno Osteria & Bar at 0.5 mi; Thursday, Oakley Pub & Grill at 1.5 mi; Friday, Montgomery Inn — Boathouse at 5 mi.

The weekend is a dead spot. Nothing inside 10 miles discounts bottles on Saturday and Sunday — Saturday is every restaurant's busiest night, and the Sunday crowd shows up without needing a reason. If you hear of one, it's likelier the search missed it than that it doesn't exist: tell us.

Checked and rejected

Every page of the site read — sitemap pulled, then every specials, events and menu page checked, not just the homepage. No half-price bottle night at any of them: Ripple Wine Bar (complimentary charcuterie Monday and Tuesday instead), Annata, Al-Posto, Alfio's, Pepp & Dolores, The Quarter Bistro, Dilly, Tony's, Via Vite, Zingaro, A Tavola, Taglio, Krueger's Tavern, Kitchen Social, Losanti, Blinkers Tavern, The Skeleton Root, 1215 Vine, Cafe Mediterranean, Awakenings, Truva, Bangkok Bistro, Delwood, Oakley Greens, Nine Giant, The Wine Merchant, Maplewood, Nada, Etxe, Lonely Pine, Bourbon's Kitchen, Cincinnati Lager House, Parkside, The Park Pour, Eddie Merlot's, Jeff Ruby's (the Precinct and the downtown steakhouse), Carmelo's, Noche, The Baker's Table.

Checked by search only, because their sites refused the browser or could not be reached — treat these as unconfirmed rather than cleared: Unwind Wine Bar, Bouquet, The Wheel, Swingline, The Pacific Kitchen, The Hi Mark, Masala T, Trio Bistro, Embers, Crown Republic, Annie Oakley's, J. Alexander's, Seasons 52, The Capital Grille.

Just past 10 road miles: Gilligan's Brewery in Lockland, Wednesday — Bottles half off on Wine & Whiskey Wednesday, (513) 510-5995; Bishop's Quarter in Loveland, Thursday — Reported half-price bottles Thursday. On the board but past the line, marked by their distance: Meritage at 13 miles and The Silver Spring House at 14 miles.

Where this came from

Restaurant websites and posted specials menus first — including the buried nightly specials and events subpages, which is where several keep theirs and where a homepage-only pass misses them. Then each restaurant's own Instagram and Facebook posts this year; then Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, OpenTable, local food groups and local press. Anything whose only source was older than about a year was dropped rather than listed. The full method.
