Berlin: 3 wine bars operate on the honor system
Posted by: Budget Travel, Thursday, Feb 14, 2008, 12:27 PM

Per this New York Times review:

For the price of 1 euro (about $1.50), you rent yourself a glass and get to sample as many of the wines as you want. At the end of the night you throw some bills or coins into a big jar, the amount based on what you think is fair.

Fra_rosa, Zionskirchstrasse 40; 011-(49-30) 657-06756.

Perlin, Griebenowstrasse 5; 011-(49-30) 4069-0951.

Forum, Fehrbelliner Strasse 57; 011-(49-30) 600-53072.

A similar article by the same author (with bonus multimedia features!) appeared on the IHT Globespotters blog over 2 months ago. It's a good one to add to the RSS feed!

I also meant to include this link to the Weinerei's low-tech website. Even if you can't read German, clicking on the names of the individual locations in the sidebar will give you their hours and some pictures of the locale.
