A historic wine address in central Herning
Step into Uhrskov Vinhandel and you are walking into more than a century of local retail history. The family business dates back to 1895, and the shop has been anchored on Bredgade in central Herning since 1912, long before the street became the city’s modern shopping artery. For decades this was a traditional grocery, supplying everyday necessities to the growing textile town. In 1958 the focus shifted decisively from groceries to wine and fine provisions. That change marked the birth of the specialised wine shop you see today, with the same name above the door and the same address, but a new dedication to bottles, aromas and flavours. The continuity is part of its charm: a single family, unfolding their story through four generations in the same frontage.From grocery shelves to curated bottles
The transformation from general grocer to wine expert is visible in the way the interior is arranged. Instead of sacks and tins, wooden shelves and display tables are lined with bottles from classic European regions and newer producers from around the world. The emphasis is on quality rather than sheer quantity, with labels chosen for character, typicity and value. Alongside wine you will find a thoughtful selection of spirits, from whisky and rum to Nordic aquavit, plus craft beers and ciders for those who prefer hops to grapes. Gourmet delicacies such as chocolates, oils, vinegars and snacks turn the shop into a natural stop when assembling a gift basket or planning a festive dinner.A fourth-generation family at the helm
Uhrskov Vinhandel remains firmly in family hands, now run by brothers Anders and Kristian Uhrskov, representing the fourth generation. That continuity shapes the atmosphere: conversations at the counter tend to be unhurried, recommendations are based on long practice, and there is an evident pride in both heritage and product. The owners focus on working with producers who are recognised in their home regions and internationally. Many of the wines come from estates with strong identities, whether a small family domaine or a well‑known house. This approach allows the shop to offer everything from accessible weekday bottles to more complex wines suited to cellaring or special occasions.Taste, talk and take your time
For visitors, the experience is about discovery as much as purchase. It is the sort of place where you can arrive with a dish in mind and ask what will pair well, or explain a budget and style and be guided toward something new. Gift solutions are a particular speciality, from single showpiece bottles to mixed selections and corporate presents. The setting, in the pedestrian‑friendly core of Herning, makes it easy to weave a visit into a wider day of city exploration. Inside, stacked cases, neat displays and the gentle clink of glass create an inviting, slightly old‑world atmosphere. It is both a practical stop for stocking up and a pleasant pause for anyone who enjoys browsing shelves and imagining the flavours inside each bottle.Wine, city life and regional flavours
Though the shop’s focus is international, it is closely tied to its region. Many Danes discover new producers here and then encounter them again at local dinners or events, creating a sense of continuity between shop counter and dining table. Seasonal highlights, such as sparkling wines for New Year or rosé in summer, often shape the front‑of‑store displays and give returning visitors something different to browse. Because the Herning area hosts fairs, concerts and sporting events, Uhrskov Vinhandel also functions as a convenient source for host gifts or supplies before an evening out. Whether you are staying nearby or making a day trip into the city, it is an easy and rewarding stop if you appreciate well‑chosen bottles and the stories that come with them.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
