Love whisky and wine, look no further! This wine shop is by the W hotel, offer an amazing selection…read moreof whisky and wine club option too! We got lucky. They had a promotion while we were there so we grabbed the Laphroaig 25 years & Glenfiddich 26 years for 20% OFF! Omg I was so excited! You can't get this price in the US! They have some of the rarest whisky, cognac and more here! Now I just need to make more money to come back to buy more whisky soon!

If you are a budget traveler like me and in need of inexpensive, but good libations. Head over to…read moreGall & Gall, the leading liquor and wine retailer in Netherlands. I don't really like to drink much since I'm a light weight, but my friends do. We went over here to purchase some prosecco and sweet wine, so we can enjoy them before hitting the clubs. Most of the bottles here cost under 5 Euro which cost as much as a small glass of wine at a bar, so you are really saving money. This location is also conveniently located under Albert Heijn Market which is a a perfect stop to grab cheeses, grapes and crackers to compliment your delicious wine.

I have walked by this liquor store a handful of times. Turns out, it's more than just any old…read moreliquor store. It's one for the ages, dating back centuries. Every time I can't help but to notice the uniquely shaped bottles of liquor in the shape of a shoe, car or gun on display. The bottles aren't exactly the typical brands but they have those also. Inside is warm and inviting. The wooden shelves that hold the bottles and handful of kegs of liquor give the old world touch, it reminds me of the charm of much of Amsterdam's old pubs. I am just looking around but I already know what I want. The lady who is managing the store is talking on the phone but when she saw me come in, she got off and took the time to address my inquiries. She was so pleasant. I apologized for intruding on her conversation and with a smile she said no problem. She explained the different versions of Absinthe, as that was I was in the market for here. Grabbed a bottle for 20euros as a gift. There are larger bottles that are pricier. Packaging is just paper, nothing fancy. For this business in term of it's age, friendly staff and uniqueness, I walked away with something I can give that is not run of the mill.

It took me 2 years to discover this shop even though I live like 4 buildings away. Nevertheless,…read moreyou can find wines and liquor for almost every occasion here. The owners are very helpful and know their wines. In the summer months, they import olive oil from Greece. In winter, they have a nice hand warmer right at the entrance to the shop. The layout is nice. It's like walking around in a wine showroom, with every price range covered. They do a wine tasting thing a few times a year and you can sign up for their mailing list to be notified for the next one. I haven't been to one, yet, but did see the table spread for the last one. I don't want to miss the next one!

One of the things I miss the most about Amsterdam is the Wijnkelder! They do a tasting every…read moreweekend of 3 wines from all over the world. The shop is small but has a good selection and the wines from the tasting generally cost about 10 Euro. Sure, you can buy wijn at Albert Heijn or Gall and Gall but the experience at the Wijnkelder is much more fun!

But this is not just a wine, beer, liquor store, it has fresh bread, pastries, every beer ever made (it looks like), fresh made take home food (to heat up), groceries from the States, munchies and even a large champagne section! See my previous review on this place from four years ago. Still going strong!

This is the same store as Sterk Delicatessen. They just have really late hours so I guess they're…read morealso an avondswinkel. Their prices are high but they have nice stuff, like high quality pastries and bread products, American cereals and fancy chocolates. I'm most impressed with their club mate selection.

Watch out, though, to not get lost in the true Bermuda Triangle of Amsterdam - the distillery, the tasting room, and liquor shop. The distillery itself is not generally open to the public, but the true aficionados can make an inquiry for a special tour (only on Fridays at 4pm). But do not despair, the jenever is always there at their Proeflokaal (tasting room).

THIS PLACE. This…read moreplace is awesome. Really, really cool. It's like an old farm house set on a pond in the middle of the forest. But, in this magical farm house they serve delicious jenevers and the beer flows like the Amstel river and there are snacks and nobody is obnoxious as if they'd all taken an oath of coolness (but not "cooooolllness") before entering the magical, mystical farm house. I can hardly wait to return. Birds chirping, water watering and good company. This is what afternoons are all about.

The owners distill their own typical Dutch jenevers here, and 'likeurtjes' after ancient centuries old original Dutch recipes. They also serve wines, lemonade, beers and cider. All eco-consious, paired with typical bar snacks like cheese, typical Amsterdam raw sausage called 'osseworst' or peanuts. No lunches here, no dinners, just these drinks and their own amazing distilled strong drinks. Closed on Mondays. Hire bikes and go here when the sun shines!

We went daily to pick out of bottle of wine while renting an apartment for the week in Amsterdam. Seem to have free tastings on Friday and Saturdays. I highly recommend them, and don't be shy about asking for a recommendation. We tasted a bunch of great wines during our stay, all for under 10 euros.

This is not the case though. The shop unlike a few others concentrates solely on wine. Also, since the store is not overly large they seem to dedicate their stock to wines they enjoy or find interesting. When I was there the guy working had a good knowledge of his stock and we agreed on a few bottles for me to try. Both the bottles I bought were good if not great and the prices were just around €10 a bottle. Certainly a better selection than your average wine section in the grocery.
