Wine shops with imported spirits in (South) Mumbai

tom_fr · Oct 4th, 2006, 19:39

Hi,

While I am fully satisfied with Indian cuisine after my first two months spent here, I must admit drinks available at wine shops are so-so, be it the local brands (Kingfisher beer, A20 vodka...) or so-called imported brands (which seem to be in fact locally made, with artificial alcohol and flavours).
So would you have some addresses of places where I could buy real imported booze, i.e. distilled and put in bottle in their original place? I would be especially keen to have information as to where I could find whiskeys (Bushmill, Blackbush) and vodka (Stolichnaya). Can we get bottles to take away at five star hotel bars maybe?

Cheers,
Tom

you wouldnt want to take away bottles from 5 stars. youd be better of setting up your own till.

anyway, look around, i know Stolichnaya, Grey Goose is available around, as is your Johnny Walker and JD selection.

Last I checked, Johhnie Walker Black (750ml) was selling for $75 in the Food World on MG Road in Bangalore. So yes, imported stuff is available for twice the price.

You get a reasonable variety of imported liquor brands at many liquor stores. You can try Peekay Wines or Shah Wines near Crawford market. They usually have a good stock of imported liquor.
