Vino

First I have to state that I don’t really drink a lot of alcohol so I wasn’t looking for massive selections of fine wines and spirits. I had gone in to look for some ale for a stew I was making and was very pleasantly surprised to see a large selection of real ales many of which were local eg Bathams and Two Towers. There were some good offers on with two bottles of Bathams for £5 and 3 bottles of The Electric’s Two Towers ale for £5.
The staff were really friendly and knowledgeable about the ale they sold. They were also very aware that with other larger off licences nearby (the great Stirchley Wines with its huge array of continental beers is only a mile or so away) they had to carve out a niche, hence the local beers. I will definitely be heading back (as when I do have a drink I’m find of a good real ale!).

This is a typical off license and stocks a variety of different wines, beers and spirits and they also sell tobacco. I came in here for a bottle of white wine the other day and I found a Pinot that looked alright and settled for that. The staff seemed fairly friendly and chatty when I went to the counter and asked me if I had found what I wanted, which was nice as it showed that they were quite helpful and attentive towards their customers. However, it was a little pricey for my liking. I thought that it was a fairly decent size inside and that there was a lot of stock and so most people would be able to find something to their taste. There were also a few drinks that had offers on too, which I am guessing is a regular thing. Overall it is a standard off license.
