Showing up at a friend’s house with a bottle of wine is a classic, classy guest move, and for good reason — an extra bottle always comes in handy. Whether you bring over champagne to toast an occasion, or a special vintage for the hostess to enjoy, it’s sure to be appreciated. Don’t worry if you don’t know whether your host prefers white or red; instead, pick up a bottle from a country you know they’ve always wanted to visit.
Located in the historic Birks Building, the store aims to give its customers a relaxing shopping experience. It’s hard to top their u-shaped tasting bar but literary buffs and vino nerds will appreciate the wine library, where you can read up on your favourite reds and whites. DeVine Wines and Spirits offers a highly specialized selection of premium wine in an open environment.
