What does this mean for the customer in need of a refreshing brew or last minute gift? Well it means you're talking to people that know what they're talking about. Stocked with plenty of locally grown and produced wines they have fought to not fall into the trap of many other suppliers. The gents at this place will talk your ear off for half an hour determined to make sure you leave with the right drop. They also have all the regular beverage buys. I think everyone knows what to expect in a bottleshop. The main difference being if you want be served by Alex the kid who finished his year 12 certificate 2 months earlier or some grey haired silverbacks who've been trying the wares that they peddle since before gin was a popular tipple. I've been gracing they're doorstop for years and you will too if you know what ails ya'.

The store also has a great range of eclectic beers and ciders and has a strong local vibe with many South Australian drinks on offer. The wine selection is excellent and has a varying range stocking the cheap to the expensive with all the South Australian regions on show. The staff in here are also happy to do special orders and will help you out with big events or get special products in just for you if you ask nicely.

I was surprised to see that this place has a large cheese fridge - gourmet cheese and nibbles in a bottle shop?? Wow, things have really changed ;) These kinds of bottle shops are great for quality, but not necessarily for quantity - no cheapie bargains here, but a wide selection of quality wines. I confess I don't drink beer or spirits, so I didn't check out their selection - but their ciders were very interesting. Quite a few interesting English ciders, plus we found the amazing Spiky Norman apple and pear cider by Padthaway Winery - superb! All in all, this is quite upmarket and gourmet, which is in keeping with the area. Fantastic if you want to try something new and explore new releases. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, and the shop is very well set out and easy to navigate.

I live in the hills and work south of the city, so I drive past Belair Fine Wines each day on the…read moreway to and from work. This was never a problem for me in the past as I was unaware of the famed "wall of beer" that was tucked away in the back corner. This all changed about two years ago when my love of local and imported craft beer stepped up a notch. My online search for the best beer retailer led me to the wall of beer where I stood for probably half an hour to 45 minutes, staring at over 1001 beers, trying to decide what to buy. Sure, the staff are very friendly and helpful, but I always seem to want to pick up and put back at least 5 or 6 bottles before I decide what to purchase. There's just too much choice (if that's even a thing). Belair Fine Wines stock all the standard beers (coopers, corona, bla bla bla) that a Dan Murphy's or Liquorland would stock; however, do you think you're going to find Rogue brewery's Beard Beer (brewed with yeast from the brewers beard) or their Maple Bacon Doughnut Beer at one of those shops? No. I didn't think so. They also have every craft beer made in South Australia (Brew Boys, Lobethal Bierhaus, Smiling Samoyed, Prancing Pony, Vale), Other Aussie and New Zealand breweries (Feral Brewery, Little Creatures, Moo Brew, Stone and Wood, Croucher, Epic) as well as their own creations in collaboration with Bierhaus such as their "Belair Menace" Saison. Then there are the international beers: Belgian, Bavarian, USA, UK, Mexican, and everywhere else you can think of. They have obscure beers from tiny little breweries that the big players don't deal with. I could go on for weeks, but unlike the wall of beer, my review must have a limit. The wall of beer must be experienced, but here's my warning - give yourself some time or get help from the staff. The Great Wall of Beer does not relent, forgive or go easy on you. If you like hops, you'll get so much hops that you're head will spin. If you like milder beers, ask the staff, because there are some beers there which are not for the beginner beer drinker (names like "Heretic Torment" and "Seeing Double" are given with good reason). Futhermore, I should note that on Sundays, they have a beer tasting from 2-6pm and regularly update their facebook and tumblr with images of new beers in store. Oh yeah, They also have heaps of wine and a selection of cheeses, snacks and other beer and wine accompaniments... Like more beer. Did I mention the beer? They have lots of beer. Now I'm going to go beer a beer and then go to beer and sleep.

Even if it is to stand in awe of the amazing selection of craft beer from around the world. I swear that it glows from a distance. But, in all honesty, Belair Fine Wines pride themselves on being experts in the art of Fine Wine & Beer. They take great care in their selection and do go out of their way to ensure that customers get what they want. To the point that they will source you an item if you ask very nicely. Word of mouth brought me to Belair Fine Wines, which is a commonplace thing in Adelaide. Once someone finds something cool it doesn't take long for word to get out. It is located centrally in Belair which is not to far away for most. It is actually a nice drive for those coming from other areas in Adelaide. Craft Beer appreciation seems to have turned into somewhat like Fine Wine appreciation. It is not all about drinking beer to get drunk anymore. It is about creating something unique and fun! In fact, I just picked up a Rouge Sriracha Stout which should be interesting! Now if you know nothing about Craft Beer, never fear! The staff here are so helpful and have tried a lot of their stock. They will be able to point you in the right direction. Belair Fine Wines also have a great selection of cheeses and snacks to pair up with the Wine or Beer you have selected. Which means they offer so much more than a normal bottelo. All well priced and great for those last minute dashes to a friend's place for dinner. I hope it is Friday when you are dropping by, because you will be in with a treat in the afternoon as they sometimes do tastings. Keep an eye on their facebook.

I have been in here when I want to buy a dozen bottles of wine (there is a discount if you are purchasing at least 6 at a time), because there is a large variety of wines at great prices (especially those gorgeous Savignon Blancs from New Zealand!). Yesterday I was there to purchase a particular bottle of wine that I found online - the more specialised wine section is at the left when you walk in the door, and you can go by wine type, and wine regions. This particular McLaren Vale Shiraz was easy to find because of the great layout. All in all, this is a great place to buy in bulk or to find a specialised bottle. If you are looking for spirits and mixers, they have a huge range of these as well. It's more of a warehouse feel rather than a small friendly bottle shop ... but that's what you get when the range is as large as this!

You can drive in off Oaklands Road straight into a large undercover parking space close to the entrance so there is no need to get wet or hot; all very comfortable! It is probably a bit too easy for those who go there a little more than they should. They even have shopping trolleys lined up so you can easily shop and then carry all your grog out to your car without breaking out in a sweat. I have always found the staff to be helpful, something I need as I am not much of a drinker. It is quite a large store which could probably do with better signage so you can find things more easily, especially if you are like me and don't come often enough to know the lay out or if you happen to be drunk already, in which case you may get lost even quicker. Great place for alcohol emergency's - drive in, pick up a trolley, race round loading it up, pay and whisk it out to the car, what could be easier.

Always at great prices and most bottles going at specials, this is a great liquor store to stock up for parties and family do.
