This small wine shop has a great variety, and more importantly Brian who will point you in the…read moreright direction for all your wine needs. It specializes in clear skin wines but is also packed full of red and wine selections. Oh and don't forget the sparkling! The wine station also gets a vote as you can get your wine custom labeled which is perfect for Christmas gifts and corporate events. If your serious about finding a good value wine or have questions that your chain store can't answer then this is the local for you.

Nice selection of wine here. I popped in to grab a few bottles of wine for a pre-party celebration…read morebefore we went out to celebrate a friend's birthday last night. I just love this squealing pig wine. Not only is it delicious- but the label is great too. The bottle shop was clean when I went in, and I was greeted promptly when I entered. The gentleman asked me if I needed help or suggestions. He let me browse around, then appeared promptly to ring me up when I was ready with my purchases.

Hey Hello everyone and welcome to your new favorite wine…read morestore... ! 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, Cafe 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."

Ah love a good bottle shop…read more 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.

Although some are about, Cloudwine isn't necessarily about big names and well known brands; instead the focus is on regional wine of Australia, with the lmore botigue and smaller labels on the shelves. Wine is sectioned into regional specificity and within these you can find particular wine types. E.g Morington, King Valley, Heathcote, Beechworth, Henty, Gippsland, Barrosa, Mclaren Vale/Eden valley, Grampians, etc. Cloudwine has weekly wine specials; great wines atdiscounted price. Muscat from a barrel, Barossa Shiraz, Pinots, Spanish wines, Whites have all been offered as a special with a bragain price. They sell pretty good beers here too. The beer selection has changed somewhat over the years from being Belguim/European focused, to now more all rounded. Including Australia. Sierra-Nevada brews on the shelves too. These beers all the rage at the moment. And prevelant throughout Melbourne. Prince wine store is just around the corner, you're spoilt for choice. Cloudwine may be smaller but offers an affordable, solid, well selected collection of wine. Which can be used as offerings for dinner parties, wine get together's, gifts,and all manner of other occasions involving social wine. Picnics even. You're sure to pick some great finds. All you have to do is seek.

I have friends who swear by the Cloudwine Cellars. Heck, I'm not even a wine drinker, and I can see…read morehow good they are, in that peculiarly Australian way we have with wine. They sell good wine by the dozen, and cheaply, and take pride in the fact that you won't have to drop much to come away with a six pack of Cab Sav. While they'll have a large range of interesting wines (even including a Chinese plum wine, last time I was there), they're not necessarily ideal if you're after anything but wine. Price of specilization, I guess.

Nice and convenient too, at the intersection of Burwood and Glenferrie Roads. They specialise in craft beer, microbrews, boutique and organic wines. The staff know their stuff and are happy to chat to help you make an informed choice or leave you to it. What is a perfect match for wine and beer? Yes. Cheese. They sell that too. Along with olives, potato chips and other small wine complementing tasties, they have you sorted. You can also BYO food; they have an agreement with some local takeaway restaurants on the same strip. When I was there you could grab some nosh from Omahs and Red Elephant.

They have a great variety or wine from local Aussie producers like 'Lady who shoot their lunch' with some great beers and ciders like one of my favorite Golden Axe Cider.

Belmore Fine Wines has a very comprehensive selection of clean skin and red wines from local vineyards, as well as some pretty bizarre and rare bottles that are very hard to find from wineries like Kalleskie, Diggers Bluff and Killibinbin. My partner and I have been coming here for over a year now and have a wine club membership. Every now and then we'll get a call about when the cellar is having wine tasting nights or other special events. The owner is very helpful and always friendly, he loves having a chat about pretty much anything and has helped us on more than one occasion with picking out a bottle for a special occasion. Belmore Fine Wines also stocks local and imported beer, as well as a pretty good range of spirits, however it is wine that is the focus here. Expect to find some real gems, and if you need help, ask and you'll get a great drop.

Whilst appearing to be a small premium wine bottle shop, Seddon Wine Store is best experienced as a…read morecasual 'wine by the glass' meeting point. The venue, with seating at high tables of 4, is quiet and intimate which is refreshing after noisy restaurants and bars - conversation flows easily whilst your eyes wander over the wall of fine wine imagining all the possibilities. The knowledgeable advice is also a highlight as staff here really do know their product whether it's Presecco or Piedmont they're quick to offer valuable advice to help you with your selection. A delicious selection of cold tasting plates are also on offer. Cheeses, olives, pates, cold meats and white anchovies are presented skillfully to complement the wine. Give it a try!

It probably says something about the area, but the strip that Seddon Wine Store is located on…read morecontains 4 bottle shops. The others are those chain store everything-but-nothing kind of places with cask wine, a lot of beer and premade shooters. Seddon Wine Store is to alcohol what a gallery is to art. Basically, it's small but thoughtful. They cover a range of price points, but they don't have mainstream over-advertised hangovers in a bottle. The owner, Simon, is often in the store and knows his stuff. He's always available for a chat and to dish some advice but isn't a vino snob. Most pleasantly of all, Seddon Wine Store now has an itty bitty wine bar located inside. Just a few tables, but goodness knows they have a great wine list to choose from, and some fabulous little things to munch on (think wagyu salami and nuts and whatnot). The biggest problem I can think of in fact, is that Seddon Wine Store is located directly between my house and the newsagent.

Sure, you could just pop down to the local IGA and grab a bottle of something that sounds fancy there, but why not go somewhere were ALL the wine is good - no guessing required. The lovely staff at Brunswick East Wine know exactly what they are talking about. Just give them a budget/occasion/colour and they'll point you where you need to go. But hey, why not buy a glass and enjoy a cheese and truffle toastie while you're in there? Not just a wine store, but a bar too!

Come here for a glass of vino and a plate of cheese to wind down after work, and then speak with knowledgeable owner Tim about the options to take home. There's an excellent selection and I love that the bottles are sorted by weight, rather than varietal, and that there's a wide range of prices which means you can easily pop in for a bottle of what I like to call "Tuesday night vino" (read: cheap and cheerful) or something a little more fancy.
