I'm probably repeating many others. Great bottle-o (mate)…read more Large selections, have everything you need from cups, ice and mixers to (amazing!!) beer, wine and spirits. Not a great range on wine but reasonable. I enjoy their 'cheap bins'' it allows me to try new stuff in a way where I won't regret it and can have it aside for houseguests. I even got BIG ice cube trays here. The staff are great and they will work hard to help (at least at my store of the last 5 years) until you find something you like. Also they flatter me each time they ask for my ID. Sign up as a member, okay so the government may track your alcohol intake... ha, no negatives and sometimes you find something awesome with it. One thing I would suggest is a scrapping the flyers policy. So many flyers every week. Just print up the specials and place them around the store and onliine And stop handing out flyers for specials. Ps. Cute boys too.

Dan Murphys at Marden is a special place. I get that 'Willy Wonkas Chocolate Factory' feeling…read moreeverytime I walk in. I wish there was a waterfall of beer....I would even settle for fortified wine! This particular Dans is my favourite in Adelaide, and it isn't just because it is my local! As far as I can tell they have the biggest selection of wines and probably spirits also! The first time I walked into the store I wandered around with a mate for well over an hour, astounded at how many beverages there were that we hadn't consumed in vast quantities! Still to this day there are still more than I can count, and I try so very, very hard! Anyways, I'll make it simple. This is the place to get your grog if you live within 10kms or are swinging through, any other option is just silly pants stuff!

The Glynde Hotel may not be my favourite pub, by far not, but the bottle shop is my favourite…read morebottle shop, yes. There are several reasons for that. First of all it's convenient. It's close to where I live, has heaps of parking space on-site and it's pretty much always open when I need it to be. Second, the guys who work here are always super friendly, smiling and helpful. Even in winter when it's freezing inside the shop and I can't help but thinking how lucky I am not having to do this job. Third, they always have great wine specials and sometimes even wine-tastings. All in all, everything you want from a bottle shop.

Amadio Wines is hard to miss because it's located in a shiny black building on Payneham Road. We…read morenearly didn't go in because the sign on their door said they're only open Wednesday to Saturday. As we started walking away, a young woman came running after us to say they're open everyday over the period of Christmas. (Maybe they should put that on their door..) The cellar door stocks a nice selection of reds, whites and sparklings. At the moment they have a pretty good offer on for their Moscato's: $10 per bottle. That is though if you're a member - of course. Membership costs $45, which I find very reasonable and average in comparison to other similar wineries. With a membership card you get around 2-4 bucks off per bottle, so if you drink a lot wine (like me), it'll save you quite some money over a years' time. The lady who ran after us was very friendly and helpful and asked us to try their Port (Tawny). Can't say no to that. The 18-year old one tasted lovely and at about 30 bucks for a 2L bottle it isn't too expensive. There's also a younger (6 years I think) and cheaper version of it. I found the store itself a bit dark and it somehow reminded me of a garage. However, great staff and very good prices. I'll be back!

Inside, bright boxes and casks line the walls, bottles like jewels fill frosty fridges. This particular drive thru is the same as most, a little smaller than some others. The staff are always friendly and helpful. And you can become a member! If you sign up, they can send you via sms any good deals on beer and wine they have that week. Often there are really worthwhile specials.

Vella Pasta is a jewel in the Campbelltown area, providing real quality pasta and sauces at a…read morefactory door price - that's easy for them to do, given they actually are a fully fledged pasta factory - for quite a while I thought the big signs out on the road advertising pasta and sauce to take home were actually something to do with the BP, up until the BP was demolished and the signs stayed. Exploration of the area yielded the factory tucked away at the back of the carpark - inside we found pasta, sauce and garlic bread for the four of us - fettucine and a creamy carbonara sauce for my wife and I, and spaghetti with lashings of meaty bolognese for the kids - all for well under $20. The pasta is fresh, gorgeous when soaked briefly in a pot of boiling salty water - the sauces are rich and plentiful (we bought two lots of pasta and sauce for two - you'd comfortably feed three from each serve). A return visit allowed me to try the vodka sauce - very, very much recommended. There's lots of off street parking nearby, even with the construction currently going on on the old BP site. Do yourself a favour and grab some really fresh pasta to cook at home, it's delicious.

However, Vella Pasta is a brilliant shop that stocks locally made pastas for everyone - including Coeliacs. They have fresh made pastas and pasta sauces available in whatever size and weight you need, garlic breads and frozen varieties. The prices are great and you can watch the staff make the pasta through a window behind the sales counter, so you know it's fresh. The result of what you make is always full of flavour and perfectly cooked on the advice of the sales staff. Don't know what to do for dinner? Vella pasta is a great, cheap idea. And yes, it's open.
