The pairings, and how to choose between them
Five published directions, ranging in price by a factor of eight. The differences are real, and they are not only about how much the bottles cost.
The map
Prices below are as published by the restaurant at the time of writing, per guest, in Danish kroner. Beverages are charged at the end of the visit rather than included in the menu.
| Programme | Per guest |
|---|---|
| Essential — the entry wine pairing | DKK 2,000 |
| Amplified — a longer, more ambitious wine flight | DKK 3,000 |
| Exclusive — rare and aged bottles | DKK 9,500 |
| Botanica — non-alcoholic | DKK 2,000 |
| Combined — wine and non-alcoholic together | DKK 2,000 |
| Exhibita — the experimental flight | DKK 3,000 |
| The Sommelier Table — wine-led evening | DKK 16,600 |
The wine tiers
Essential is not a compromise. At a restaurant where the menu itself is the argument, the entry pairing is built to support the sequence rather than to compete with it — which for most guests is exactly right for a first visit, when the food is already asking for everything you have.
Amplified buys ambition: more unusual growers, more risk in the matches, and more moments where the glass is making its own point. Exclusive moves into a different category altogether, drawing on aged and rare bottles from the cellar. At that price the wine is no longer accompaniment; it is a second programme running in parallel.
First visit, drinking: Essential. Second visit, or a serious wine interest: Amplified. The gap between them is larger than the price difference suggests.
Botanica
The non-alcoholic pairing is priced identically to the entry wine flight, and that pricing is a statement. It is a constructed programme — ferments, infusions, clarifications, distillates without ethanol — built by the same people who build the wine list, not a run of juices.
For a six-hour meal, there is a strong practical case for it even if you drink. Fifty impressions is a long evening, and a full wine flight across it is a substantial quantity of alcohol. Several of the servings are designed to be unsettling; arriving at them clear-headed is not a lesser experience.
Combined and Exhibita
The combined pairing interleaves alcoholic and non-alcoholic servings across the night. It is the sensible default for anyone who wants wine but not six hours of it, and it removes the awkwardness at a table where one guest is not drinking.
Exhibita is the experimental flight — the place where the beverage team puts things that do not fit the other categories. Choose it if the drinks themselves are the reason you are interested; it is a poor first choice if you want the food to hold the foreground.
The Sommelier Table
A separate format rather than an upgrade: the full experience accompanied by a curated run through iconic producers and vintages, presented by the sommelier team, from opening champagne to closing digestif. At DKK 16,600 per guest it is aimed squarely at people for whom the wine list is the destination and the meal is the setting.
How to choose
- Not drinking, or driving: Botanica, without hesitation.
- First visit, drinking: Essential or Combined. Keep your attention for the food.
- You read wine lists for pleasure: Amplified, or the Sommelier Table if budget allows.
- Mixed table: Combined solves the problem elegantly.
- You are here for the drinks: Exhibita.
The restaurant also keeps an extensive list and serves by the glass, and will send the wine menu ahead of a visit on request through its sommelier contact. If you want to plan, ask.
