wine taverns
Explanation:
Buschenschänke ist österreichisch für Straußenwirtschaft, also kleine Weinstuben, wo Wein, besonders neuer Wein, ausgeschenkt wird. Aber wine tasting taverns ist sehr umständlich ausgedrückt.

agree  BrigitteHilgner: Die Betonung liegt auf "neuem" Wein, traditionellerweise auf dem eigenen, selbst-angebauten neuen Wein, aber das sieht man an vielen Orten nicht mehr so eng.

  -> Danke Brigitte, stimmt genau. Hier in Hessen gibts viele Straußenschänken, die es auch nicht so genau nehmen.
agree  ottonicolai: Buschenschänken haben immer mit Wein zu tun

Explanation:
I think Edith's definition is too narrow nowadays. I've been to "Buschenschänken" in Austria that had nothing to do with wine making, e.g. somewhere on an alp. They serve local products (sausages, cheese, etc.), and are open during the summer and fall only.
