Wine Me Up is one of those neighbourhood stores that makes everyone that lives in the area groan. Aside from the tacky title and horrible signage, it has a big board outside advertising two bottles of wine for £5. There’s also signs in the window advertising cheap beer, cider and alcopops — which makes it a dream destination for teenagers and drunks. I’ve popped in a few times for bottles of Sol and Corona when the other off licenses in the area were already closed but I wouldn’t touch most of the wine with a barge pole. With such cheap prices, I’m imagining most of it probably tastes like battery acid. You can probably find a couple of decent bottles if you look hard enough but I’d rather go to an off license with a passion for good wine and liquor.

Wine Me Up! Yes please. Great name: average store. In this instance though, average is not necessarily a negative. There is nothing flash, or particularly inspired about Wine Me Up, but it does offer a range of booze, some good offers on wine and all the chocolate, chewing gum and crisps you might frivolously decide to go for. A firm 3-starer.

Wine Me Up is a great little off-license offering an exceptionally diverse range of alcoholic beverages. As you’d expect with a name like ‘Wine Me Up’, the range of wines is particularly large, despite the store’s relatively small size. You’ll also find a really good choice of beers and spirits, indeed the selection for the latter far exceeds that of most chain supermarkets, who generally only offer the same, repetitive assortment of commercial brands. The prices are also competitive, and you’ll find a range of snacks and soft drinks.
