Formally known as the scary sounding "Flaschengeist",…read more Liqurious has transformed itself into a great speciality gift store. Known for it's intriguing combinations, This store offers amazing Liqueurs, spirits, fortified wines, oils and vinegars for you to fill up and take home in whatever size bottle you need. I remember being stumped for good gift idea's for my manly man friend, but after talking to the friendly sales staff I got to take home white port in a bottle that had a GLASS SHIP IN IT. (Needless to say it's so boss it still resides on the kitchen counter.) With liqueurs ranging from mango melon, pineapple, rose, limoncello, cognac and walnut, AND melon (as well as a yummy chocolate vodka.) This place definitely has you spoiled for choice. Now is the season for yuletide giving and If you're stumped for a unique gift idea this place is great alternative to that giftcard you were guiltily thinking of buying.

This is another of those fab little shops that I had largely ignored until one day, when I was…read morehanging in Adelaide Street waiting for a bus, I decided to pop in. And oh, what a place full of delightful, alcoholic things! But first there's the amazing oils (I don't cook, but even I was impressed). I totes wanted the Mandarin Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil to dress some of my Christmas Day salads with. Or perhaps even the Raspberry Caramelised Balsamic Vinegar to dip breads in? Then I realised that I was loitering right beside a huge bottle of chocolate Port. Yes, you read that right. It's Port and it's chocolate flavoured. You can even soak strawbs in it. Then there were the other amazing liquers, just ripe for adding into cocktails: watermelon, rose, mango, macadamia nut). I underestimated you, Liqurious. Respect.

When you first walk past... you're pretty much thinking ye old regular alcohol store, the only…read moredifference is that it's located in Grand Central Station and looks a bit rustic. Upon walking inside, there is a multitude of liquor, beer, wine and mainstream alcohol to be bought. The thing that suprised me, and I don't even drink, I was looking for a present for a house warming... was the array of Whiskey this tiny little shop had. They also provide... maybe a first for Brisbane... a free liquor delivery service to Brisbane CBD and the general metro area... unheard of! They also cater liquor to functions for work and what have you. Staff are really lovely and knowledgeable, and the place has been open for many many years so it holds history... smells a bit of history too... but not in a bad way. The staff also informed me that should I not be able to come into the store, they also have an online champagne gallery which will have a brilliant selection of fine champagne... delivered free! The champagnes aren't that cheap mind you, so I have a feeling they may have incorporated the 'free delivery' price into the price of the alcohol, but either way. This place is where you need to visit. Right next to the bar too. I'll definetely be checking out their online site... i'd never heard of one before!

Many times I've caught the train directly after work to a friend's house for dinner or a party and have dropped by here to pick up supplies. The staff here are really helpful. Not only am I ignorant about good wines, I also have a terrible memory for names so I can never remember any good wines I've sampled at restaurants. At Grand Central Cellar, I simply tell the staff my price range and that I'm looking for a red that is sweet, not dry and tastes like blackcurrants. They get it right every time.

I do prefer to support local shops when I can, but sometimes I need to grab something quickly on my way home and this serves that purpose. I was pleasantly surprised by their range of cider and was happy to find a couple of my favourites (mainly Mercury) at this store. The staff are always pleasant, helpful and knowledgable, which when I'm trying to find something that I haven't tried before, is always good.
