ABOUT
Not Your Usual
NOT YOUR USUAL wine and cocktail bar is a newly opened bar in the center of Copenhagen that is especially cool for people who want to learn more about what's in their glass - or just love to drink wine and cocktails and want to try something different. We believe in offering a new and interesting wine and cocktail experience for everyone in a super friendly and social environment.
Ranging in three price classes per glass: 75 kr - Beginner, 95 kr - Amateur and Cocktails, and 125 kr - Expert We focus on unUSUAL wines from places like Moldova, Slovenia or Hungary to Lebanon, Portugal or even Denmark, but we can also pour up a glass of your usual favorite - so you're always sure to find something that is tailored to your UNUSUAL palette and mood! Even our cocktails are a bit UNUSUAL because we use sparkling wine as a mixer instead of tonic or soda to make them taste extra special.
NOT YOUR USUAL also offers tasting flights, educational events and much more for all levels of wine lovers, so whether you know virtually nothing about wine, or you consider yourself a true connoisseur, we're sure, that we can teach you one or two UNUSUAL things about wine.
Check our our WINE CLASSES, held in six week modules or for those without that much time on a Saturday afternoon. Either option is a fun and interesting way to learn about wine!
Menu
Not Your USUAL wine- cocktails- beer and tapas menu
Our comprehensive and easy ordering menu offers a broad selection of wines you may already know, but it also allows you to discover wines, you wouldn't USUALLY consider. We offer about 30 different wines by the glass, and another 30 special bottles that you can order. Our menu changes daily, therefore we don't have an online version.
If you're feeling hungry too, we'll help you find just the right tapas or charcuterie platter for your wine.
We specialize in wine tasting flights; 3 half glasses to enjoy. We'll present you with unUSUAL options of red, - white - rose, or even bubbly - chosen according your taste and the mood of our Sommelier today. It's always fun to try new things!

WHO are WE anyways?
Corneliu Tiulenev
“Change your life today. Don’t gamble on the future. Act now, without delay.”
The not your USUAL wine bar concept was developed by two creative and innovative sommeliers -
both with years of experience working with wine and food.
Gwenn Larsson, an American living in the Nordics for almost 20 years, was educated at Restaurangakadamein in Stockholm.
She was the founder of
not your PARENTS wine bar in Copenhagen. The first wine bar to cater to a younger and more novice wine audience.
Cornelieu Tiulenev, formerly the head sommelier at Mother wine is originally from Moldova, and received his wine and food education in Italy and Denmark working in Michelin star restaurants.
Together they create a dynamic, social and interesting environment for drinking wine that is
not your USUAL.
Gwenn Larsson
It takes hard work and dedication to make your dreams come true...
