BA Wine Bar is a small local business resulting from an eight-year project, focused on the dissemination of Portuguese wines, with an approach to wine by the glass concept that we believe to be worth being continued. Basically, the approach of the concept consists of seeking to know the personal taste of each one, thus providing a personalized service, table by table, person by person.

BA Wine Bar is a local business and a small space, like so many others in Bairro Alto, resulting from an eight-year job creation project, focused on Portuguese wines, which we think is worth continuing. Portugal is also small, but very diverse and ideal for making quality wine, but without quantity to export it. It is one of the greatest national treasures and is practically unknown internationally. Thus, we seek to play an important role in the dissemination of Portuguese wine. Many tourists have already asked where to buy it. We often reply that the best way to get to know Portuguese wine is to visit Portugal :) We believe that our different approach to serving wine by the glass has made the concept more appealing, attracting many people over almost a decade. How? Each wine has its history and most oenophiles like to hear it. We don't care if they started in the wine world now or if they are qualified professionals. Everyone deserves the same treatment and attention. This is why we strive and intend to continue this unique approach to a concept that is very much appreciated, perhaps also because many people from many sides of the world claim that there is nothing like this where they live or in other countries. Many wine lovers will agree that Lisbon will be more empty in the hearts of those who have visited us and those who intend to visit us, especially for those who consider us as a mandatory stop every time they return to our city, finding at BA Wine Bar a place which intends to maintain the objective of meeting, in turn, the expectations and personal taste of each person. It is for all these reasons that we decided to ask for the help of all those who feel that BA Wine Bar is worth continuing.

About the author

My name is Rui Rossa and I founded BA Wine Bar in 2012. It is the mirror of a life of dedication to Portuguese wines and their understanding and learning. In reality, it is the continuation of a hobby with about 25 years of wine tasting, where you could taste and talk about the wines with the different professionals of each reference. I started by sharing what I was learning with friends and family and decided to do the same with customers. I don't see them as customers, but as new friends. Everyone deserves the same attention and treatment. I did it by playing the role of host, not limited to table service. I believe that is why the BA Wine Bar in Bairro Alto appears in several links, right on the first three pages of Google. In the evaluations there are many references to me and the team, thus constituting our CV.

Budget and due dates

The aim of this campaign is to recover this micro-company from the damage suffered by the significant drop in revenues in 2019. When, in 2020, we feel more optimistic, the pandemic arose. BA Wine Bar has been closed since March and has no financial resources to reopen. We intend to start again, with our heads held high, trying to compensate everyone who, despite the difficulties, places confidence in us.

    Hello everyone!

    We hope that this message finds you well.

    As we all well know, BA's campaign did not work as expected. On one hand maybe it was for a better good, as in something more realistic.

    We would like to inform that in case any of you hasn't withdrawn your contribution or receive your refund, please type ppl.pt/reembolso, and then set in English, if needed. It's very easy to follow.

    Most important, many thanks for your support and for caring for BA Wine Bar's concept :)

    We hope to see you all soon.

    In the mean time, you all stay safe and take care.

    Warm regards,

    BA Wine Bar team
