Wine Store | Wine Bar run by Tim Cohen, Brunswick local for 10+ years. Our point of difference is Tim’s intimate knowledge of wine and value for money range.
Some nights in our household there is a desperate, urgent need for wine. Whether it’s a hard day at work, a fight with a friend or, y’know, it’s just a Tuesday, sometimes a glass of wine is all you need to ease the pain. Enter Brunswick East Wine Store. Sure, you could just pop down to the local IGA and grab a bottle of something that sounds fancy there, but why not go somewhere were ALL the wine is good — no guessing required. The lovely staff at Brunswick East Wine know exactly what they are talking about. Just give them a budget/occasion/colour and they’ll point you where you need to go. But hey, why not buy a glass and enjoy a cheese and truffle toastie while you’re in there? Not just a wine store, but a bar too! It’s venues like these that make me feel smug to live in such a wonderful suburb. Cheers!

I’m a big fan of wine stores that let you enjoy a glass(or five) before you make a selection to take home. Come here for a glass of vino and a plate of cheese to wind down after work, and then speak with knowledgeable owner Tim about the options to take home. There’s an excellent selection and I love that the bottles are sorted by weight, rather than varietal, and that there’s a wide range of prices which means you can easily pop in for a bottle of what I like to call«Tuesday night vino»(read: cheap and cheerful) or something a little more fancy.
