OxfordWill Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Emporium, paragon, foodland, and there is one place which is just a wine shop which I have been told is both affordable and good range but I forget where. It newly opened I think 2007 or 2006. Someone else will know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtoad Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Will the place you are thinking about is probably Wine Connection. We have just had one open here in Ratchayothin by the Major Complex, I think there is another one in Silom somewhere. Good selection and varied price range. Villa also has reasonable selection at Soi 33, and it's worth looking in Carrefour and Tesco's as well, as they have some reasonable deals.

NotNew2You Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 U always heard the market adjacent to the Thai airways building out towards Don Muang airport has a good selection of wine pilfered from the airline (and imported duty-free) for sale at cheap prices.

Bangyai Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Its not gonna be cheap wherever you get it. You could try a bottle of Sato from 7/11 at only 25 baht a bottle. Its cheap rice wine and like a sweet Hock if you can imagine such a thing. Water it down a bit and after a few glasses you might succeed in kidding yourself its not too bad a substitute. Or as a friend put it when he saw me drinking it ....' If you're not diabetic now you soon will be '. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomatopo Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) Villa and Foodland have decent moderately-priced selections; I look for Australian reds and whites in the 450 - 750 THB range, with frequent sales. If you find something you like buy a case. The Wine Connection is OK. http://www.wineconnection.co.th/ They sell off-register during the ban hours.

BT Its on Convent Road, not Silom. Walk into the carpark entrance by the 7/11 just before Silom. No need to go through Molly Malones or Coyote, though both have entrances into the carpark IMHO best selection is on the top floor of Villa at Soi 33. To the poster about the market next to the Thai Airways HQ, which market are you refering to, or is this just an urban myth you are passing on?

Nampeung Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Wine Connection is great GirlX. There is one on Phuket too. They do tastings and have a great price range from 200 - 2,000 baht, the owner is a lovely French guy and sources all the wine himself. Happy sipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 The is a wine shop in Silom Complex shopping centre. Saladaeng Bts station and enter from ticket hall level. Turn right after you enter Silom Complex and its either straight in front of you on the same level or on the next level UP the escalator. Sorry, cant quite remember which level as I usually use different entrance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
