Winebeast

Excellent! We were staying at a hotel around the corner and came here for a night cap. Walked in and they had 7 Rose options! Love a good Rose and the service was knowledgable and super friendly. What a gem!

This is a terrific shop. The only thing more impressive than the selection is the owner, Vincent. His knowledge is superb.

I love a nice wine boutique; their atmosphere, their products, their customer service, their attention to detail, their care for quality and the way they combine innovation and tradition. If you love wine like I do, you know what I’m talking about. There are many wine shops in Hong Kong (and I have the feeling that they’re opening more and more lately?) and even though they all share their ambience, some of them are able to differentiate and stand out from the others. That’s the case with Winebeast.
I was after a specific type of wine that I hadn’t seen anywhere that far… it’s a Sherry from Southern Spain. A friend recommended I visit the shop as they had a great variety. Even though it’s located in Johnston Road it can go unnoticed, but once you step in you’ll be amazed by the space. Shelves cover the shop top down, full with wine bottles, elegantly displayed. Just how it should be done, giving a feeling of it being a wine cellar. It was the sommelier who assisted me when I went to the shop. She took me to the Spanish wines section (they also carry wines from France, Italy, Germany and the New World. Even though they didn’t have the particular wine I was after, I quickly shifted my attention to all the other products they have. The sommelier was very helpful and very kind. I can just define their customer service as excellent. She didn’t push me to look at anything in particular and just let me browse around for my delight.
She did give me her card and suggested I have a look at their online store which turned out to be very complete. In it they explain the wine characteristics and pairing.
And it gets better: they do free tasting sessions. I’m planning to attend one in August, wanna join me?
