Bucharest city guide

When I found BVS I just couldn’t wait to get home to write about it. It is a wine shop and more… a lot more…

Bucharest city-center is always very busy and pretty noisy. Many clubs can be found and among all the commotion there is this place, BVS. It is like a dream come true. I was invited by a friend for a glass of wine and it was much more for me…the atmosphere at Beros & van Schaik is peaceful and usually completed by pleasant piano music.

BVS is a relaxed wine bar & shop with friendly staff and over 130 wines to choose from. They stand by their ‘know what you buy’ policy and always have 10-12 bottles open for free tasting so you don’t have any surprises. The owners, Christian (Beros) and Jerry (van Schaik) have personally selected all the wines in their offer (tasting their way through most of the globe in the process). 

We had two bottles of wine, of which I chose a sweet Rose from South Africa and Laura chose a dry red wine from Spain. The idea is that they have wine from all over the world and can cover most tastes. If you buy a bottle of wine for take-away the price is 15 lei cheaper than if you drink it there. They also serve selected Dutch cheese…which I’m sure everybody loves.
