Google lists: delivery. > There is wide variety of beverages available. I find its location is convenient in relation to its neighbouring shops. The place remains opens reasonably well into the evening compared to other bottle stores in the area., Jonathan L, 11 months ago > Called in here twice now. Friendliest Bottle O in Christchurch. Had great chats about wine choices with the lovely man behind the counter. Tried to convince him to buy a bottle and pour me a glass to see if I liked it 😆. I'm very loyal to my local bottle O. But this one's on the way home from work and the knowledge and customer service is fantastic. Highly recommend, animekidjay, 4 years ago > I don't care about the price, it really is the same anywhere you go, its about having a good experience at a store that means you come back or not. Today, staff were incredibly rude, they were not welcoming and rushed me through my entire time at the store, within 5 seconds I was being interrogated about what I wanted and, when I had handed my ID, the staff member scratched at my ID for over a few minutes and refused to accept it for about 5 minutes. I respect the process to ensure each customer is 18+ but this worker was instead rude and impolite., Finn Ramsay, 6 years ago ## Doors - [What stood on this ground](https://www.chch.live/before?lat=-43.5376494&lon=172.5575542) - [On the map](https://www.chch.live/map#-43.5376494,172.5575542,17) - [Documents that name it](https://www.chch.live/documents?q=The%20Bottle-O) - [Sockburn](https://www.chch.live/sockburn), the suburb - [The OSM record](https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/10003557118), fix it there ## Questions, answered briefly **What is The Bottle-O?** A bottle store in Sockburn, Christchurch. **Where is The Bottle-O?** 125 Main South Road Sockburn, on [Main South Road Sockburn](https://www.chch.live/street/sockburn/main-south-road).
