Vine in Redfern

Forget the big bottleshops selling the same stuff you can get anywhere and come to Vine, where the staff know their stuff and don't care if you don't. Tonti, Mike and Andrew are all more than happy to give you a recommendation for whatever you're about to eat, and their tips are always worth following, given they stock primarily interesting, small producers. They also have themed days a few times a year where for $20 you can eat all you can from the deli next door, Delizio (another great place), while washing it down with champagne, Italian or regional Australian, according to what's on that day.
