richard_smith237 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 (edited) I am wondering if anyone on the Forum has any experience purchasing wine from an wine import company in Bangkok. My girlfriend travels to Australia on a regular basis, each time bringing back a couple of good bottles of Auzzie Red, i.e. Penfolds Bin 407 / Bin 389. In Australia, these wines cost approximately 800 baht per bottle. Villa Market sells the same wine for 4800 and 4000 baht respectively. I enjoy a decent bottle of plonk with dinner and often take my own and pay corkage (normally 300 to 500 baht per bottle) when I eat out at a decent restaurant (at least 2 times per week). My question is these... a) Does anyone know of the likely cost if I was to purchase 24 bottles from a Bangkok wine dealer, or have them import it for me ? I'm not interested to deal with the import myself. Also, I've done a google search and e-mailed a couple of places and await their reply. Does anyone had any experience of good wine dealers in Bangkok ? (with websites ?). c) A friend is getting married, this may be useful for him, purchasing a few hundred bottles and saving rather a lot. I believe the hotel where the reception is being held is not going to charge corkage. Thanks… Edited September 19, 2007 by richard_smith237 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
