Friendly Service and interesting wines, true retail wine shop…read more I like it!!!

The store here, when it first started out, was a grand affair, featuring a wall of interesting…read moreimports - - with whole sections for different beer styles, like IPAs, and stouts/porters. It heralded and celebrated the arrival of the craft beer movement in Germany. After a year or two, though, it scaled down the interesting imports, and the Belgians, and the styles, with more space simply for the sponsor Ratsherrn beers. Now it has been completely redone, moved to a different entrance, and it is a small dark space, with prices I won't pay. This might be a reflection on the craft beer 'movement' in Germany.

This is my favourite wine shop, nay, shop, in the world. Yes, it's true, I like this even more than…read moreM Moen & Son in Clapham. More, even, than some pubs. What's been said in the other reviews is all true, of course. But what I love about this place is the incredibly relaxed atmosphere, the way they completely appreciate the post-work wind down, and lubricate it with generous glasses of wine every time you go. Don't expect to purchase anything in under an hour, but why would you want to? Try it all - there's not a bad bottle in here.

Simply the best wine shop I have ever been too…read more Firstly, the layout and decor of the shop is in very good taste. A good selection of wine on the right hand side, some nice pieces of art on the walls, a couple of fridges at the back of the shop, and the mandatory bare plaster walls of all tasteful places in Hamburg. Understated and classic. And then to the wine. All of the bottles are arranged with hand written descriptions, a good selection of most grape varieties, and pricing to suit everyone's requirements. 5EUR bottles through to 20EUR bottles. If you're in need of some sound advice then stroll over to the counter and ask the chap who runs this place. Very friendly, excellent English, and a very good English vocabulary when it comes to wine. There is no snobbery here - whatever you're willing to spend he will give excellent plain sense recommendations. They also have a few other delicacies other than wine; hare paté was one I indulged in recently. If you become a regular visitor you'll also notice there are quite often a few people standing around drinking a bottle and chatting to the chap. This shop isn't just about grabbing your booze and then slumping in front of a DVD. My more romantic side likes to think it's about harking back to the diminishing culture of enjoying the finer things in life and doing it with some style. Everytime I leave this shop I vow to drink more good quality wine. Drop by sometime.

Nice little owner run shop with distinguished advice about whisky…read more Here you find your great single malt whisky that really meets your taste. Single malts mostly from Scotland but also from France and Japan wait to be discovered. I like that shop and bought several first class whiskys here up to now.

I stop here often on the way home from work to grab a wine. It's on the way and I've been stopping…read morein here for some time. 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.

I stopped in here on a 2-day visit to Hamburg on a Baltic Cruise. As it happens, my cruise ship…read moreallows me to bring on wine to consume (subject to a corkage fee) and I enjoy trying wine from different countries. 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.
