Majestic Wine Warehouses

Although I’m a huge foodie, I don’t drink alcohol as I don’t like the taste of alcohol and have’t bothered to acquire it.
However, I do find it a convenient gift when I need something for a celebration or when going round to dinner at a friend’s place.
Majestic calls itself a wine warehouse and that description does dampen down your expectation of its appearance — it is housed in one of the most unusual/​ugliest buildings I’ve seen. Despite being on the main Wimbledon Broadway, it does have some parking just in front of the shop.
Once inside, you’ll find huge stacks of wines from old and new wine countries. For a non drinker like me, there are helpful labels which tell you about he character of the various wines on offer.
You do have to buy in bulk — 6 or 12 bottles being the minimum.
I’ve had no complaints from friends who’ve received bottles I’ve purchased here, so I assume their selection is sound.
A bit disappointed that despite me trying to buy an expensive bottle from them, they still insisted on the minimum bottles rule. That did lose them my custom on that occasion.

Majestic is Wimbledon’s wholesale bottle store. The store itself is fairly large, and stocks all local offerings as well as beers and liquors from different countries. There are many wines as well, primarily from the top world producers: Australia, France, South Africa and Chile. Majestic offers a handy delivery service to your home address as well, perfect for larger events.
Majestic may not be suitable for the casual drinker or last minute party host, as prices can be quite high compared to the local supermarkets. San Miguel beer costs nearly £7 more per case at Majestic than it does at the local Morrisons, so if you’re an impulse buyer, rather take a minute to think about it. Remember though: if it’s pure variety and a free delivery you’re after, Majestic is the place to call.
