ChrisKC Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I am planning a special trip to Chiang Mai, tomorrow, Wednesday in anticipation of buying a bottle of port and sherry. Also Christmas Crackers. These things not available anywhere in Lampang. My first thoughts are the Mahidol Road Rimping Supermarket (that's the one near the Airport, right?), where I remember some time ago there was a dedicated Wine Shop next door as well. Is my trip likely to be successful? Buying these things online would have been ideal but... Thank you for your time and help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaLa Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I was up in Chiang Mai a few days ago and ended up in the large mall Maya which is on the arterial road out of the city ...Huay Kaew Rd. In the basement there was a supermarket with a huge selection of wine. I didn't notice Port and Sherry specifically but there was a very good selection of international brands. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaLa Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Just searched and I believe it is Rimping in Maya 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevoromgh Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Central Festival Food Hall (in basement) usually have a good selection of Xmas crackers and probably drinks too map here and in the same mall Marks & Spencers too but pricey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brommers Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 The Food Hall supermarket in CenFes has a limited selection of ports & sherries and is where I bought them last year, Rimping branches each have their own range of wines etc so you need to choose one that is most conveniently located, Wine Connection is not selling anything apart from normal wines & has hiked its prices recently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jak2002003 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) I was looking for sherry and found this thread. Today I went to all the places your guys suggested and wasted hours of my time as NONE of them had sherry I went to Maya shopping mall, Rimping, the Central festival supermarket in the basement...nothing. If anyone is looking to buy sherry then don't go to any of the places these posters suggested lol. Edited January 28, 2022 by jak2002003 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveAustin Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 They sometimes label it as 'fruit wine', possibly to avoid higher taxes? Rimping used to do one a while back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are sure I will go tomorrow. It's a journey for me...I can't drive so will be using my bicycle and song taews and going from Doi Saket. I don't want to waste my time like I did going to the other places people here said had sherry. It is going to be a present for a close friend. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might try calling Rimping, they have pretty good customer service and if they have it could put it aside for you probably. First person who answers may not speak English but they can usually get somebody who can quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the selection was very scarce and I am not sure if they replaced the stock I bought. The Sherry I still have is "Sandemans Fino. It doesn't say sweet or dry but on tasting, think it is a dry one. The Port was also lacking in selection, maybe only two bottles on the day, I just bought one of them. I bought the only Mouton Cadet they had, also. Rimping does have at least five other stores scattered around Chiang Mai City. Please check before you go!

I got the sherry and a port. My friend was very happy with the sherry! I was about to be annoyed in the shop as when I asked if they had any the girls selling the alcohol said no...they only have port! But I checked myself and found it with all the other dusty bottles.
