If you spend any time in Florence, somebody is going to point out a wine window to you. They are plentiful and they dot the city center and the area around Santo Spirito.

In late spring Florence hosted an interesting exhibition devoted to the buchette del vino, and I’m including some photos I took of that exhibition. They had a rare wooden door that housed a wine window. Most buchette are housed within the plaster/stone walls of the city and usually trimmed in pietra serena stone, the lovely blue/grey stone that is used for architectural trim throughout Florence. You can see what I mean in the top photo here.
