As mentioned by other people, this is more of a wine merchant. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and even stop for a chat with you if you know what you want and don't need any assistance, however if you are going to a party, special dinner, or want to gift a bottle of wine to someone who knows considerably more about fine wines than you do, this is the place to go. The wines are reasonably priced for the quality (quite frankly if you want a cheapo bottle of plonk, then there's always Tesco or Sainsburys!) but they do have a number of offers on any time I have been in, where you can get a few bottles for a reduced price!

This is my local off license that I've been calling into for years, it's so handy when you need a…read moredecent bottle of something! There is such a thing as an alcohol emergency! Their wines are extensive, from cheap and cheerful to expensive and delicious. They also have a large variety of spirits, stocking some of the higher end gins. Not only that they have plenty of different mixers, from basic Coke to organic fever tree tonic, which I love! I'm not massively into beer so couldn't tell you the types they stock but looks like there are plenty of options for the discerning customer. The shop assistants are all very friendly and more than happy to help if you want advice on anything, they will also order a bottle of your fave in if they don't stock it. My only problem with the place is they've stopped asking me for my id.... Clearly I've started showing my age!

I have discovered a number of great red wines that are very reasonably priced, one such being the Black Shiraz, which in my opinion is the best wine you can get for under ten pounds. If you are unsure about what to get, then simply ask the friendly staff who will not confuse you with specialised wine tasting jargon, but keep it simple and to the point. Even if wine is not your thing Gap Wines sells an eclectic mix of beers from around the world. I would suggest you try some BrewDog, specifically the Punk IPA beer which, if you are a beer fan, you will certainly enjoy!

The off-license is always well stocked and they have a good range of alcoholic beverages available, along with soft drinks and tobacco products. They are, however, as I expect with most smaller chains, a bit more expensive, which I why I have given them four stars and not five, as like for like products are cheaper in the supermarkets.

The Wine Co. stock a great range of wines, beers, spirits etc. Basically I've never come here and not found what I'm looking for. They cater for Corporate Events, Weddings, Christenings, Anniversaries & offer Corporate Gifts / Hampers (See more about this on their website) Plus as a very added bonus they sell the most beautifully decorated drinking glasses. These make GREAT presents, if you've resorted to the old bottle of drink as a token gift, then let your wander to to these and voila, problem solved! The glasses come in different shapes, sizes and decorations so you can even start your own collection! (Then have to buy some tasty wine to put christen it... oh no!)
