This Dr:nk is a student magnet, and it is clear why: it is the most convenient off-licence to the…read morestudent housing at Elms! Dr:nk does a good job of what it does though, as it always has a wide range of special offers on to placate the masses, with a personal recent favourite 5 cans of Kopparberg for a fiver, which is phenomenal value! The best thing about Dr:nk compared to cheaper supermarket outlets is that the vast majority of goods are chilled which means you can pick up stuff from here on short notice and it is good to go straight away rather than having to chill it yourself for ages or diluting your sweet booze with ice, the natural enemy of all beverages!(some may disagree but my view is that drinks should already be cold, they shouldn't have to be watered down!) Dr:nk will continue to thrive as long as students of the area love booze, and I can confidently say that trend will not be stopping any time soon!

Dr:nk is different. I like this place on the Malone Road in student land. It's bright and nifty, and I happen to have fallen in love with some of the wines that I can't get my hands on anywhere else. If you ever come across a wine called Heartland (an Aussie shiraz), buy all of it. There's always a big advertising board outside, detailing all of their monthly specials. The management seem to trust the staff to play their own music too, which is pretty cool... I know they're ubiquitous now, but the first time I heard Mumford & Sons was in Dr:nk. Not to be sniffed at.

As the name suggests it specialises in a great range of wines from all over the world, but with it resembling more of an alcohol suermarket than a simple shop it offers alot more than a nice botte of wine. They also store a massive range of quality beers, spirits and ciders and with two walk in fridges you can get quite chilly if you stand inside them too long pondering what tipple will satisfy you most! With deals on all the time you're always sure to pick up a bargain if you call in with an open mind and a willing pallet!

And considering myself quite cultured among my Buckfast-swilling friends too. As such, the Vineyard isn't an offy I go out of my way to, specialising in proper wines and drinks for those who drink for taste and actually keep the cork of a bottle of wine to put it in the bottle and keep it for later. I do call in fairly often as it's on my way home, and no doubt embarrass myself terribly by going for the £5.99 or £4.99 rose, but I care not. The Vineyard is about the best place on the Ormeau Road to go if you want to buy someone a nice bottle of wine as a pressie, or to bring to someone's house if they're making you dinner. But I call in mainly for convenience rather than choice, although clearly that's my fault for being such a pleb.

Sainsbury's Off Sales is the best in Belfast. It has a vast range of wines, beers, spirits and any…read moreother beverage you could possibly want. In my opinion it sells the best wine of all the supermarket chains. I rate it even more highly than some of the smaller independent off licences. The reason for this is that Sainsbury's wines are definitely, by far, the best quality, selection and price. It's also a lovely large, well designed off licence with a bright, clean feel and exceptionally helpful staff. Top marks.

Wineflair is just beside the bookies on Cromac Street and is really the usual sort of place you tend to find around Belfast, there is nothing particularly outstanding. The beer, although bland and macro in every sense is reasonably priced however the hilariously small wine selection is unbelievable. You're talking maybe eight types of red, ranging from £4.50 (for utter dyed alcoholic water) to £8 or 9 for utter guff at that price, I mean we're talking £7 for a bottle of Hardy's standard mediocre Shiraz... not good. One of the guys I've dealt with is sound, spoken to him a few times and 'shot the shit' as the phrase goes. That aside it's a little pricey and limited range wise. However, if you are looking for booze in the area and there's nowhere else,... have at it.
