I'm so glad this place opened - since it has, I've been there three times, and not just to purchase…read morea bottle from their vast array on offer but to tastings as well. Situated on the Aston Road near the A38 you could be forgiven for missing it, but don't! It would be a mistake not to go. There is parking available outside so there's not even a need to walk. You have to buzz for entry, but once inside you'll see why. There's a large selection of wines, champagnes, spirits and beers on offer. The décor is well laid out and there are seats should you feel the need to sit down just to take it all in! There is a huge amount of champagnes to cater for every taste ranging from Moet to Bollinger to Dom Perignon. Right in the back corner is a separate section for the more exclusive bottles - I suggest you go have a look at least. There's the normal range of spirits but there are loads of more distinct and different brands on offer. I managed to get hold of a flavoured bottle of Absolut that nowhere else had in stock. The staff are brilliant - when I went in looking for a bottle of rum for my boyfriend who loves the stuff, they showed me various ones similar to the ones he has already tried (by the way - the recommendation was amazing and my boyfriend loved it). I've been back several times to buy beer, spirits and wine. The prices are reasonable and similar to those you'd get online - I've always managed to find what I've wanted for a great price. As it has more speciality items, I know I'll be back to further sample the range.

What an amazing shop! I will never think of whisky the same way again…read more In fact I like whisky now and really want to go back to buy a fancy bottle, just to keep in the house and have a drop when we deserve it. You know, like grown ups do! Seriously, take a look at this place, they know their stuff and whether you want to purchase for yourself, for a party or for a present for someone who has everything. Suits all budgets too!

This a lovely small independent whisky retailer with products that are high end and from all over…read morethe Globe. Located just inside the Great Western Arcade it's worth a visit when you can, even just to browse the products. They have many famous brands to offer, so why not let the nice assistant tell you all they know about the whisky distilleries? They are also part of the UK premier and private whisky club, offering a FREE membership with every purchase. They know their products, although perhaps be a bit careful not to over spend in here as the Whisky varieties are not cheap at all. They would make the perfect gift if you can find one at a reasonable price.

Manor Wines - Your typical local newsagent? Correct…read more There is always a stereotypical newsagent around every corner you turn in either Halesowen/Bartley Green, all pretty much selling the same products at similar prices. The service in a lot of these places is sub standard, as if the staff don't want to be there. The majority may be family and tied in to the shop, making matters worse. Regardless, Manor Wines is a fairly decent place to go, if you're looking to buy a few beers or a cheap bottle of wine, then I would recommend swinging by if you're close enough, I wouldn't say it's worth a journey though, I must admit.

Manor Wines is the best place to go for alcohol without getting in the car. They carry most types…read moreof alcohol and the prices are hard to beat. Would definitely recommend as it has been owned by the same family for at least 15 years and there are always good deals, especially with the usual drinks like fosters, carling, strongbow etc.

This is a nice little shop located on West Bromwich's High Street. I like this store, I like the…read morestaff that work in there; they are very friendly and always have a smile of their face which is always a good thing. My experience with Bobby's Wines has good and I don't have anything negative to say about the store. I've purchased a few alcoholic beverages from there and I've continued going there when I'm in West Bromwich because of their prices and that is the main reason. I like somewhere which doesn't over-charge but you still get quality products. They continued being competitive with their pricing and I feel that's what makes them a great shop. Their selection of products is reasonable, not the best but they sell the products which people around that area purchase- so that is fair enough.

For what it is everything seems a little over priced but they have a nice selection of beers and wine and they often cut deals if your spending a lot. The only way you can really judge a local off license is by its deals, and to be honest the deals here are never all that ground breaking, maybe the odd offer but i doubt they can go too low without being destroyed and made homeless by Te cos. Staff are good guys and the shop is well looked after. Worth a visit if your local!
