Wine o’clock doesn’t always have to be in a restaurant or bar. It might as well be at home, with a home-cooked meal, over your favourite TV show, catching up with friends, playing board games… whatever tickles your fancy, really, that deserves to be paired with a wee bit of libation. For those days when you wish to enjoy your vino at home – or buy a bottle or two as presents – we’ve handpicked four of our favourite shops where you can enjoy discounts when using an offer on the ENTERTAINER app.

The Tramline Liquor Co.
78 Catchick Street, Kennedy Town
This quirky, little liquor boutique at the end of the eponymous tram line has a cult following, and for good reason. They stock not only some of the best craft beers from local and international microbreweries. They also have a great selection of wines and spirits. Wine advisor Raymond Chan has his to say about the O:TU Sauvignon Blanc: Dry to taste and medium-bodied, the palate is refined in expression with elegantly concentrated and subtly rich, juicy and vibrant flavours of passionfruit, white florals and nettles, unfolding mineral elements.
