Must I even sing the praises of DeVine when everyone else has already done such a good job? I like to drop in here after the Farmer's Market or whenever I'm in the neighbourhood because I don't know how to pick wine, but the staff at DeVine does. I love the set up of the store and the staff is so friendly & helpful. Additionally there's usually samples out when I drop in -- I like shopping for wine while drinking wine, it feels right. I always take home something new, and thanks to the connoisseurs that work there, it's always something great. Why go anywhere else?

Stopped by this wine shop while wandering around when I was in town for a conference. They have many types of wines available from all over the world, as well as other liquors to suit your fancy. The counter guys were really friendly and ready to help if I had any questions. I was happy to find pear cider in this shop because I was having a craving for this beverage (don't ask!). If I lived in Edmonton, I know I would visit this shop quite often for all my wine needs.

So maybe I go here too often. But what fun is life with out a few vices? In my opinion, this is the best place in the city to buy wine. I like to get the mixed wine case of the month. 6 different whites and 6 different reds, which changes every month. I have not yet had a bad bottle from these cases, and often am discovering something new and exciting. If you like wine and have asked a wine store clerk for a recommendation you probably got the "what are you looking for?" or "what kind of wine do you like?". But that's not a good way to learn about new wines. Get the mixed case. They have picked 12 wines that you will enjoy and learn from.
They also have my favorite Scotch (Isle of Jura). And lots of very nice spirits. The beer selection is nice, but not very high on the American Microbrews. Just Rogue, which is nice, but I would like a bigger variety. Good for some nice Beligan beers though.
Overall, a fun place to spend an hour or so on the weekend. -

deVine Wines is much more than just a wine shop. It's a shop that boasts in its knowledge of wines more than anything else. Located very conveniently on 104th street and Jasper, this wineshop makes living easy. Right outside the LRT station and right on 104th street where the City Center market runs on saturdays (summers, i.e.).
Firstly, they have like so many different labels of wines that can easily be accessed online as well. In this manner, if you are interested in focussing on a very specific vineyard or wine region you can filter your browsing to that and of course, cost filters too because sometimes two bottles might look identical, but one could cost 10 times the other!
Apart from a great online list, they have regular wine & cheese tasting events which are often times free, though people (like me) end up always buying a bottle of the wine on exhibit. In any case, it's a great place to spend some time and learn about the complexity of the grape :-) (i'm trying to sound all cool and educated now).
Yes, let's not forget the awesome monthly wine case thing they have going. You can sign up to this and I think you get like 6 bottles of wine a month. Of course, that's a lot of wine for one month, but it is something you could share with other friends. Also, you could order this once in two months. The wines are chosen by deVine itself.
Their wines range in cost from $15 to $1500 - this is the real deal. -

DeVine wines really is simply divine. They carry a very large selection of wines from around the world and have extremely knowledgeable staff who can help you find exactly what you need, whether you know what that is or not! Besides wines, they also have a very good selection of beers. I usually pick up a case of something I have never heard of before when I come here. Last night it was Hibiscus beer from a French brewery as well as the fall staple of Pumpkin Pie Spice from our local favorite brewery, Alleykat. Both were delicious!
They frequently host wine tastings and even have a wine club! You can pay a couple hundred dollars a month to receive a case of wine put together by the staff. Check their website for upcoming events and book QUICKLY as they sell out very fast. -

It's true they have an awesome selection of wines from around the world. They also have more accessories than I've seen in other stores such as decanters, glasses, bags to transport a bottle or two.
I was amazed that they still provide other beverages such as vodka, rum, rye, specialty liqueurs and even have a beer fridge with a decent selection of local and foreign beer. Another thing I was drawn to, though only esthetically I must admit, was an entire section of scotch! Though the wine is more my style, I know people that sip and evaluate scotch as some do wine or specialty coffee. There are certainly connoisseurs of that genre and this store caters to that as well. -

These guys are serious about their wines. This is the kind of shop you want to visit for one of the best wine selections in the city. They've got everything, including seriously knowledgeable staff who live and breathe wine. If you don't know what will go with a meal you're serving, just ask. They'll have lots of suggestions. Also, these guys offer regular wine-tastings, many of which are free, nibblies included. It draws a lot of people into the store and also creates spontaneous community downtown after work, which then encourages people to stay in the area for dinner. Whether you want a find champagne or the best bang for your buck, they've got it.

When Alberta privatized their off sales a load of cheap barn sized stores showed up on every corner with all the same beer and wine products at the same prices. These guys resisted and bucked the trend and setup a serious wine shop, only enter if you are looking for well informed, non snobby sales staff and a great selection of wines at all price points. Well done keep up the work of bring good wine to Edmontonians.
