Buying wine at Clissold Wines is far more cost efficient than buying it next door at Church Street…read moreSupermarket. Though I love the 24 hour store, their wine selection is poor and generally more expensive. Clissold Wines is a friendly family-run store which has an excellent selection of low-mid price wines, spirits and beers. They always run a few cheap offers in big wooden crates next to the door- I went in last night and they had 3 different 3 for 10 pound white wine offers. As well as inexpensive offerings, they also have an excellent range of riojas and sancerres from about 12 pounds upwards. The staff are friendly and helpful and have two beautiful cats who sit behind the till.

There is not a great deal of top end wines, but as long as you are not after something very special, I'm sure you will find something. There is always a bargain to be had, which is why I keep going back. The specials are often at give-away prices. I also keep going back because I love the people who run the store. There are a few rather posh wine shops in the area, and I am grateful that Clissold is not one of them. Church street can get a it carried away with its prices sometimes, and Clissold keeps it down to earth.

And almost everything they got seems to have a deal on, or be reduced. I'd never been in before, maybe this is the just the pre-Christmas bonanza. And it's not like I'd ever bought friends and loved ones a crate of Nigerian Guinness before. Friends, family, if you're looking for something to get me this year... Yup, so whiskeys, wines, champagnes, all that stuff. Errm, yeah, joyously cheap. Come here, I wish I lived closer, strictly...

As you'd expect in this area there's loads of halloumi, olives and other Mediterranean food. They also have a great selection of veg and the usual stuff you get in convenience stores, as well as a bakery with fresh Turkish bread. Pro tip: go for the feta and spinach slices, yours for 50p.

The shop is fairly wee and the, ahem, 'pyramid' of canned beer in the center of the floor sort of forces one to move in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction around the room. Along one wall stands the growler (tee-hee) station for purchasing and re-fills, which, by the way, is pretty special. The only other place in town where I've had the pleasure of buying refillable jugs of beer is in the massive Whole Foods store in Kensington. For those wanting to imbibe a 'cold one' directly after purchase, there's a full beer fridge at the back of the shop. CC is excellently placed along Lower Clapton Rd. with a handful of buses stopping right out front. Beer lovers and the beer-curious would do well to visit!

The staff are on hand for a recommendation and I have never got the sense that they were seeking to push a dud bottle onto me. Quite the contrary in fact - all the bottles I have bought here have been excellent. In addition to the wine, a good selection of spirits and beer is on offer. The beer isn't just your run of the mill stella. Instead it is a selection of bottled beers from both the UK and overseas which are more unusual. I haven't worked my way through them all (yet) but there are no doubt lots of enjoyment to be had doing so. Of those sampled so far the beer brewed by the Redchurch Brewary has been particularly good, if a little pricey.
