Thank you so much to Keith at Ainslie Cellars for his huge efforts in arranging a thank you present to be delivered to my Canberra doctor (I am now based in NSW). Not only did he personally select a thank you card and gift bag for me at the next door newsagent/IGA (he texted me photos of various cards/bags to review before purchase) but wrote my note in the card for me and delivered it to my doctor's rooms that day. It was all very reasonably priced. His help was amazing. Greatly appreciated!!
For many years the Liquor store was part of the Ainslie supermarket. Moved next door for more room to have more range of beer and wine. The birth of 'Ainslie Cellars ', they become knowledgeable and in time experience in all the Liquor they sell. Stock excellent range of Australian beers. The best part they have the best selection of Canberra wines from local and far fields. Wines around Australia and the world. Every week they have a wine 🍷 tasting at the Ainslie Cellar, come and taste the wines from Canberra and the World's wines. As there may be restrictions on how many people can come, please 🙏 ring when the next wines 🍷 tasting is on.
Good selection of wine with some surprising natural wines and gems at a decent price. Some feedback for staff, guys it's probably not a good idea to drop F bombs when chatting with each other when customers are around.
Nice selection of wine and beer. But the craft beer in particular is outrageously expensive. Previous review said $5-7 premium on a carton, I reckon it's that big on a 6 pack! Plonk at Fyshwick Markets kills this place on range and price. But it's in Fyshwick...
I see some good reviews. Perhaps this only applies to wine? Beer here is on average $5 to $7 more expensive than most shops and not competitive. If you are paying more than $50 for a carton of mid strength beer (xxxx or Great Northern) then there is something wrong IMO! I would expect to pay that in an isolated outback town, not in the ACT.
