To mark the end of the year, the Viennese restaurant group Kleinod is presenting an extensive selection of renowned champagnes at its newest location on the Schottenring. The offerings at "Kleinod am Ring" include a total of 19 different varieties, featuring prestigious brands such as Perrier-Jouët, Bollinger, Dom Pérignon, and Krug.
The selection ranges from classic Brut wines to exclusive cuvées such as Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill or Roederer Cristal. Many wines are also available in magnum format for larger groups. Prices for a standard bottle start at €99 and reach up to €720 per bottle in the high-end segment. The wine selection is complemented by a variety of fresh oysters prepared under the direction of chef Felix Albiez.
The "Kleinod" group, led by restaurateurs Alexander Batik, Oliver Horvath, Philipp Scheiber, and David Schober, has become a fixture in Vienna's bar scene since its founding in 2015. The concept is inspired by the style of classic American bars and has received numerous national awards. In addition to its flagship location on Singerstrasse and the "Kleinod PRUNKSTÜCK," "Kleinod am Ring" represents the latest expansion, combining gastronomy with sophisticated bar culture. Trade publications such as Falstaff magazine have repeatedly recognized the company as "Best Bar Team of the Year" in recent years. The new location on the Ringstrasse was also awarded "New Opening of the Year" for 2025.
Further research on Vienna's luxury gastronomy reveals a continuing trend towards specialization in exclusive sparkling wine brands. The prestige cuvée segment experiences increased demand, particularly in major cities during the New Year's season. The inclusion of internationally renowned brands like Ruinart and Laurent-Perrier serves to position the location on an international scale. The gastronomic concept at the Schottenring relies on a combination of bar expertise and haute cuisine, with Felix Albiez as head chef. This symbiosis of sophisticated beverages and specialized cuisine aims to solidify the location as a central meeting point for a discerning clientele.
The Kleinod Group's economic development demonstrates the successful scaling of a bar concept across various price segments and locations in Vienna's city center. While the classic locations focus on mixology, the establishment on the Ringstrasse expands the portfolio with a stronger gastronomic component. The current selection of premium champagnes at the turn of the year underscores this ambition. With magnum bottles starting at €229, the offering is specifically targeted at consumers in the premium sector. The continuous awards from trade publications confirm the group's strategy of achieving a leading role in the Austrian hospitality service sector through professional quality and innovative concepts.
