The Daily News looks at wine bars around the city, because "cosmos and martinis are such a '90s thing" (at least according to Zagat's Curt Gathje - sorry Jake!). Wine bars are also more conducive to socializing and get your wine conoisseur on. Enoteca author Joyce Goldstein suggests that NY wine bars that offer snacks and light fare are just an extension of the Italian enoteca (which means "to take care of wine"). So naturally Gothamist must mentioned Otto Enoteca.
Some of the wine bars mentioned are Rhone, Punch and Judy, Belly, Savoia and Divine Bar.

Belly is a good wine bar though I haven't been in a while. Do they still use the flat glasses that the owners picked up in Spain (at least I think it was Spain). Bar Veloce over on 2nd Ave is another good wine bar, narrow though, serving Italian wines.
i must second the nomination of bar veloce as well, both the nolita and east village varients.

cheese is the new wine

Louis on 9th and c is a great wine bar. fun doggies there, too.
Bar Veloce is by far, the most consistent and full of quality bar snack foods, Italian wines, appealing ambiance, and patrons. When I visit this gem of a paninoteca wine bar, I think of the best cup of espresso one will find in NYC. They have two locations: 17 Cleveland Place (near Lafayette and Spring/Kenmare) 175 Second Avenue (E.12/11th) and I heard a third store will opening up near the Chelsea area.
