Great range of wine covering almost every spectrum. Beer range fantastic especially for the sour beer savvy! Prices are fair. $ 20 will get you a big choice for something interesting, delicious and have change for the washing.

Not the best experience and after some research paid WAY over the odds. Selection was just ok, knowledge of wine a regions has to be better to survive in this savvy Melbourne market guys. Wont be back and there are so many better options.

Well, a great selection. Prices are fair. As mentioned before, parking situation is not great. But clearly a nicely curated selection with many things I’d not seen before. I did get a bit of the the«you don’t know enough about wine to merit my attention» vibe when my question about something I was looking for was apparently ill informed. Sorry.

Not the best location for such a merchant. It’s still a friendly nieghbourhood bottle shop/alcohol supplier. located on the fabulously busy punt road, this area of Windsor does not allow for much parking near by. But if some how you manage to be in the area, or becomes accessible it’s worth checking out. It’s a smaller and little more under refined than the flagship store in scotchmeyer street. Once again, it stocks great wine, lesser known brands and some cool deals. One can pick up a variety of limited run, or one off beers, and there’s also the big bottles and long necks. They have some staple beers, from the Carlton brewery, but its an area where one has to mix classy brew with standard choices. In terms of wines, you’ll find plenty to indulge in as the selection is strong. Spirits and that family of alcohol is also on hand if you so wish. There’s some pretty good beer deals going on. Some international beers of better reputation are $ 20 a sick pack. You’ll find no goon here, but rather, perhaps, something to impress yourself or even some one else. Now I’ve been to two of the three stores; only the lygon street venue remains.
