Great staff, extensive range as you'd expect from a Dan Murphy's…read more I've been to stores across the eastern coast of Australia and I've yet to find one I don't like. If you happen by on a regular day, you'll be able to taste any of the possible 5 varying bottles they have (public holidays and big sales usually cancel this out) Prices are also quite decent.

Dan Murphy's - This is as good as it gets, if you can't find it here, you can't find it anywhere…read more They supply everything from one bottle to many boxes. Chilled and warm. Friendly, fast, efficient service. What's not to love

I am the fussiest drinker (alcoholic and otherwise) you will ever meet. I can't stand beer, wine…read moreand fizz of any kind, so when I do feel like enjoying a night I'm likely to forget, I'm left with cocktails or mixed drinks with juice. For most people, a trip to the bottle-o is cheaper than a night out drinking, but for me it's usually the opposite. There's been more than one occasion where I've been forced to buy a huge bottle of Smirnoff or Baileys, even though there's no way I'll ever drink it all in one sitting. When I was younger a friend and I found a great way around this problem; some bottle shops have a range of cheap, fruit flavoured liquors that taste surprisingly delicious and manage to get us wobbly. What I have discovered since then is that very few bottle shops actually stock my fruit flavoured friends, so I was very pleased when I ran into this store to avoid the rain pouring down outside and discovered a whole shelf of them. As I gazed lovingly at the line of girly coloured bottles, the friendly man who was working came over to inform me that he was about to do a taste test of these very products. While my delicious strawberries & cream flavoured drink slowly warmed me up, I strolled around the shop. I am no expert in wine but I can count, and there was a lot here, ranging in price (and I suppose that means quality) from less than $10 to well, a lot more. It wasn't a big store but there was certainly a lot in there and the service was great.

I have a guilty Friday night pleasure. Pizza from Belissimo pizza and wine from the Vine Liquor…read moreMart two shops down. Terrible, I know. In my defense, it is not a regular occurrence and I am allowed to have a lazy night in some times after a hard week don't you think? The Vine has a great range of spirits, wine and beer. Everything you would expect from a bottle shop. They do have quite a few exotic wines that I have not heard of before and I am slowly making my way through the list. I highly doubt I will ever try all of them, but I am willing to have a go. The staff are really helpful and happy to recommend a nice wine and point you in the right direction. Great for a quick stop off on the way home.
