Wolf is a place that I've walked by many many times and never really noticed. Looking back, I'm not…read moresure how that could be with it's incredibly bright yellow exterior and massive backyard. Anyway, I noticed it yesterday, and realised that they sell all manner of drinks. I was interested in whether they might sell English real ales, so I went in to investigate. The answer, sadly, is no they don't, but they do sell Augustiner in crates! Hurrah! They also have a very extensive range of spirits and soft drinks. The best thing though is that they deliver! I've yet to test out the service, but if they're willing to carry a crate of Augustiners up the 5 floors to my apartment I'll give them 5 stars :) - Update: so when I was in the other day I quizzed them about the delivery service. 1 Augustiner costs 1.20. A crate of 20 costs 19.99 and to have the crate delivered it'll cost a further 3. A bargin if you live no-where near the shop, on the 5th floor and have no car...

As a non-smoker I only ever visit Duske & Duske to get my fix of English-language magazines, but…read moretheir selection is surprisingly large (for automotive titles, that is) and the service is impeccable, in an understated, Hanseatic fashion. I think it's also much more charming than getting the mags at the train station anyway. Once I bought some cigars as a present for a friend, who told me they were top notch quality - they better be, for Duske & Duske's range isn't exactly cheap, but the helpful and competent assistance was a great bonus, particularly as I had no clue what I should buy.

Das ursprüngliche Angebot von Milch, Käse & Co wurde um regionale Produkte kleiner Hersteller wie Biobrot, Kaffee, Honig, Senf, Wurst, Marmeladen, Schokoladen, Säfte, Kekse und vieles mehr erweitert. Auch die Weinabteilung ist größer und fundierter geworden und bietet nun ein interessantes Qualitätsangebot zu günstigen Preisen - hauptsächlich aus Deutschland und Europa. Es gibt kleine Snacks, Stullen, Kaffee und Kuchen zu genießen - im Laden gemütlich am Fenster sitzend und in der hellen Jahreszeit draußen vor dem Laden.

They don't have the most extensive wine selection but they tend to have good quality and the consultation by the folks working there is usually spot on. I am not the biggest wine connoisseur hence I ask for recommendations. Usually tell them what I'll be eating and ask them to recommend something. To-date they have been off maybe once. They also don't always try to push the most expensive wines on you. I feel that they do tend to have slightly higher prices than I have seen elsewhere but the convenience factor is high for me. Plus the store is set up quite nicely and easily can be checkout out.

The staff member was very knowledgeable about wine and recommended exactly what I wanted: a medium-bodied German red wine. I am pretty informed about wine but not German wines. I know they are famous for their whites, but wanted a red. Wish I had bought more whilst there. Their inventory was quite impressive for the size of the store with all price points represented.
