Dublin's Wine Bars - what actually sells?

There are, as you undoubtedly know, some great Wine bars in Dublin, offering different wines and food choices, but what do they sell?  They list Orange, Natural, low intervention wines amongst others but what actually sells? 
We were in Ely a while back, ordering some obscure wine of their long quality filled list when we met some old friends.  'What are you ordering?' we were asked (it was probably some pre-phylloxera Riesling from Germany or similar). 'What about you?' we asked, and the reply was 'Sauvignon, Marlborough Sauvignon' 

So, are all those small production, hand crafted wines on the list for the Wine nerds only? What does the normal customer drink? We had a large selection of wines available in the Restaurant - at retail price plus a small corkage fee - but the same 5-10 wines generated most of the sales. 

If you are interested in 'different' wines (but never strange) you should try something like NIVARIUS Finca LA NEVERA 2019, Palacios, Rioja, Spain 
It's 100% Maturana Blanca* from a single vineyard at a minimum of 680 metres upwards (remember, altitude is good for white wines!!) the wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks and riddled regularly to achieve a wonderful rich mouthfeel, real freshness and low sulfites! It's practically good for you!
From the enticing straw yellow colour, to it's intense nose (Apples, pears, even quince) and touch of minerality, it has a long crisp grip on the palate with classy tension, it finishes long with stone fruits, and aromatic herbs going on... and on ...

Nivarius Finca La Nevera 2019 is astounding value, receiving 95 points from Penin Guide amongst other great scores.
At this price we only get a decent Chablis or inferior Pouilly Fuissé from elsewhere!

*Maturana Blanca is one of the earliest varietals mentioned in the annals of Rioja, but was outgrown by Viura and Verdejo. Now back in favour with specialist producers (like Palacios) it offers so much that the others sometimes lack. Many times over the years we have tasted wines (especially Spanish whites) that appear nice but offer little on the palate or the finish, as they lack acidity. La Nevera offers flavours, richness and perfectly balanced acidity to really sparkle!
