There is only one place to go if you need wine for a party and that's Majestic on the Old Shoreham…read moreRoad. There are several reasons why I keep going back. Firstly, if you buy a few cases for a party and don't drink the lot, they'll refund on unopened bottles. Secondly, when you start buying in bulk the discounts start adding up and the wine becomes very reasonable indeed. The staff are knowledgable and willing to help and you can borrow glassware from them too. It's a brilliant place to shop for wine.

I recommend stopping by Hartley's if you are having a party. They have several branches in brighton and Hove.

This shop has all your household needs which include; toiletries, cleaning products, food, drink, pet food, cigarettes and alcohol. At good prices.

This shop keeper isn't wrapped too tight. He adds things up using the calculator on his phone…read moreinstead of just scanning items, and then waits until the card transaction is processed to ask if you want a bag at the cost of an additional 20p. If you don't have coins then you you don't get a bag, and he's already taken payment via card. Why does this clueless individual not simply add the bag on to the card transaction? Why does he sometimes scan goods and other times just add them up on his phone? Seems like he might be trying to avoid transaction records. I've always supported small businesses like this guy, but in this instance the community would be far better off without him.

"WINE ME UP", said the hobo to his friend before guzzling said business' 2 bottles for £3.99 offer…read more This is at least what comes to my mind, that, and how did anybody think "wine me up" was a good name. As already mentioned, they sell 2 bottles of red, white or rose for the shockingly and worringly cheap price of £3.99. I can't say I took up this offer, I feared the consequences too much. I did get 6 cans of Kronenberg for £5 though, which is pretty much on the money with competitors. Beyond that, you can also get snacks, cigarettes and bus tickets here, always useful.

No one thought that a fine wine merchant would survive very long stuck out in the wilds of Portland…read moreRoad in Hove, but Quaff has quietly plugged away and survived despite expectations. I've been in there three or four times - a couple at Christmas, once or twice before my Dad's birthday - and bought really really good wines there. If you want to talk wine and get good advice, the staff have consistently impressed with their knowledge - these are passionate wine people who love their subject. Equally the notes and organisation of the wines means that you can successfully grab good wine even if, like me, you only half know what you're doing. They have the mainstream fine wines you'd expect with lots of representation from the New World and regional and unusual wines. A great little shop.

Three 2 Four is one of the biggest newsagents and late night grocery stores on Western Road…read more Surrounded by bars, pubs and take aways, its constantly bustling with students and locals popping in on the way home. If you're after a newspaper and a pint of milk, Three 2 Four scores on both counts. If you're looking for something hale and hearty however, there are much better late night stores in the area - like Buy 2 Win. A lot of the the brand products like Heinz tomato soup, Ambrosia custard and Mr Kipling cakes seem significantly over-priced whilst the biscuits, bread and tinned food tends to look more cheap and cheerful than appetising. The alcohol and freezer section also veers more towards economy purchasing with flurescent alcopops, giant bottles of cider, four packs of strong beer and frozen ready meals.

The Offie - what a thoughtful name for an off-license. I mean, it's what everyone calls them, but I…read morehave never seen it as the actual name before. That was a great start for me and things just got better. So it's a shop full to the brim with alcohol - one doth not protest. This however, is nothing new for an off-license, but where The Offie succeeds in not being just another off-license is the fact that they offer a great range of alcoholic beverages from all over the globe. This means that if you actually enjoy the taste of alcohol rather than simply using it for its ill-gotten gains, you are able to revel in the great selection. For me this meant Asahi the Japanese beer: not so rare, but nice to see nevertheless. My Canadian friend was very shocked to see Canadian ginger beer and lagers that he'd actually travelled all the way to London to get. And my other friend who introduced us to The Offie was there for the Lebanese beers. If you're an astute alcohol consumer, or you're missing a taste from home, check out The Offie. You might find something old, something new, something hopefully not borrowed, but maybe something blue!

To be honest I thought this place was alright, but I wouldn't say it was amazing. Perhaps this is…read morebecause I went into the Offie, just after I had gone into Red, White, Rose, with which I was really impressed by, and so felt a bit let down by the Offie, as it is a bit more of a standard off license. The range of beer is not so far ranging and specialist, it's much more of a deal orientated place, dealing mostly with cans of the usual Strongbow, Stella , Kronenbourg triumvirate. Of course it does have more specialist beers, such as Leffe and Asahi, but these are now the types of beers you can find in your local supermarket anyway. However, to give credit to this place there was some good deals going, such as 70cl of Sambuca for £8.99 and 6 Peroni's for £6 isn't bad either. Smaller selection of Wines and spirits that you might expect for a place called The Offie, but your likely to find what you want for a house party.
