Ah love a good bottle shop. If the same-same rows of Sauvignon Blanc at the supermarket liquor store make you sigh and look elsewhere — this is where you should head as your alternative. The prices won’t make you baulk either, we picked up some great bottles for under $ 20. If you’re having dinner around the city, this isn’t out of the way to pick up a great BYO option and save yourself a good $ 30 or so on the restaurant ticket price.

Hey Hello everyone and welcome to your new favorite wine store… ! By god this place is great– it has a large stock of mainly excellent stock; being the majority is great stock without a lot of the so-so filler wines you get in most places. As they say, all killer no filler. Wine is mostly at the moderate to well price end– you can find most stock ranging between $ 20 – 40, and then of course you have your other higher and lower price brackets. What i can strongly suggest, after personal years in the hospitality trade, years of buying and tasting wine, is that you want to go with the aforementioned $ 20– $ 40 pricing range. Yes, you spent a little more money, but the qaulity is far superior, and of course, this will reflect in the product itself. You can knock someone’s or even your own socks off with just about any bottle in this store as such, I would highly recommend some tight fitting socks! Pay attention all, this is wine, this is good wine, this is where it’s at. Fresh, clean, spacious and modern layout, with products that excel. Not in the mood for wine? You will be! But if absconding from such excellent alcoholic grape products, they have here a great range of non-commercial (i can buy that anywhere) ciders, such as the Harcourt apple and pear ciders in that cute labels and packaging. Great boutique beers that you mostly can’t find anywhere else; and again, this stuff is better drinking qaulity. Finally, Melbourne wine store is located in that cool little pocket, of St Kilda Road near Royce hotel, Café Vue and other rad businesses. This is on the outbound side, between Domain and Toorak roads, in that funny little patch of greatness, «the only part of st Kilda road that isn’t daggy, dated, boring, run of the mill, nothing special, bland, boring, insipid and really crappy.»
