Upon entering this wine warehouse I was greeted by an english speaking gentleman and was informed…read morethat I could pay in sterling or euros and all products were labelled in both currencies.There was also a price comparison with the uk and the projected saving. Most of the wine here is not of french origin but from all over the world and is marginally cheaper than in the uk. This is due to a higher tax in the uk and is much the same as an oddbins here except you can pay with euros. Not of any great note

I have always found the staff friendly (they all speak excellent English) and helpful and knowledgeable, and the range of wines available for free sampling has always been very good.

It is a…read morevery short drive from the Calais ferry port so if you're against the clock for your trip it can be over & done with in next to no time at all. There is wine galore of all varieties as you have about 10 supermarket sized aisles dedicated to booze. I managed to pick up a 30 pack of quality Saint Omer dumpy beers for just £5.50 (Thats about 18p per bottle). Bargain. All spirits etc can be picked up here at a saving of around a few pounds per bottle against British prices. In tough times where the value of the pound is levelling out with the Euro it is good to know you can still get value for your money from your booze cruise!!

We were there on the 31st of May and met up with John Stockton. Sadly the news is that he will be closing down, a victim of the falling pound. The shop will be sorely missed. Thanks John.
