If you’re the sort of person that has feelings about the quality of the vessel from which you’re drinking your wine, odds are that restaurants without wine programs, such as Peking Duck House and Wu’s Wonton King, aren’t going to deliver fancy glassware. But some such spots are open to diners bringing their own glasses; just call ahead to confirm before showing up with your box of Zaltos.

Frequently, it’s wine industry folks who show up to more wine-centric restaurants on their nights off, which makes for some fascinating bottle watching, especially on Sunday nights in Midtown’s Rockefeller Center. Conceivably, you could take a bottle for appetizers at 5 Acres and then one to Jupiter for salads and pasta, and then head over to Naro for their signature ice cream and a twisted donut with banana custard. Annie Shi, co-owner and beverage director of Jupiter, says she’s not seen anyone score the hat trick in one evening yet, but “actually, if anyone does do it,” she says, “come find me and I’ll give [you] a prize!” We’ll hold her at her word.

Here are 18 restaurants that will open your wine with welcome arms, at least one night a week.
