Graft Wine Shop & Wine Bar sits on King Street in Downtown Charleston, combining a retail wine shop with a bar under one roof. Guests can browse and buy bottles to take home, order wine by the glass at the bar, or bring a shelf bottle to the table for a corkage fee. Cheese rounds out the food side.
The wine list draws consistent praise from regulars for its range, and the staff has built a reputation for walking guests through it in a friendly, unpretentious way — though service can slip when the room gets busy. It's a spot locals and visitors both return to for the selection and the vibe.
The James Beard Foundation named Graft a semifinalist for Outstanding Bar / Bar Program in 2026, following a 2025 semifinalist nod for Outstanding Professional in Beverage Service.
