You’re in Melbourne the weekend before the big race. Maybe you’re staying on for a couple of extra days to spend your winnings. Where should you go if you feel like whiling away an hour or two over a glass of good wine?

Melbourne has no shortage of vino venues, of course, from long-running institutions such as Jimmy Watson’s Wine Bar (est. 1935) to more recent arrivals such as the swanky Gimlet, named last month as the restaurant with the best wine list in Australia.
