> By far the nicest liquor store in Christchurch. The staff here are incredibly kind, and they know what they're talking about. Great service and very helpful 👍, Andrew Howe, 3 months ago
> Incredible range but even better service! The knowledgeable staff were able to show me which reds were low in acidity and recommend a wonderful cream liquor that everyone loved. The icing on the cake was the lovely lady serving me gift wrapped the wine once she found out it was a Father’s Day gift. Thank you for going above and beyond for your customers!, Maggie Patterson, 3 years ago
