Licqour Store in Vancouver

[Ajkcruiser]

Is there a store within walking distance of the port?

 

I would like to drop my bags and walk to the store to pick up some of the local wines for my cruise, would like to avoid carrying glass while managing suitcases.

 

Thanks

A Google Search for "BC liquor stores in Vancouver" showed a map with locations of stores and a list of their addresses, etc. It looks like this one is closest to Canada Place:

Yup, that's the closest one - and it will have plenty of BC wines. If you were looking at wines at or under $30 a pop, you should have ample choice in the Harbour Centre.

 

If you're super-picky and want a range of fancy wine to choose from, it's not much further to the Signature store at Alberni & Bute with more high-end selections and wine advisors available.

 

NB: opening hours though, if you're cruising Sunday then you definitely want to go to the Signature store!

Thanks for the info....

 

I Google my hotel and the port and it is walking distance.... So happy, last year I had a friend give me a bottle which I was unable to get at the LCBO.... Just checked the Vancouver site and it is available :)

 

Sailing on a Monday.....

 

Thanks again

When I looked on the site ..... Prices seem cheaper than Ontario....

 

Are they listed without taxes ? If so what is the sales tax?

 

Thanks

There's also a small private liquor store at the YVR airport (one level below domestic baggage). While it's a bit more pricey than the BC Liquor stores, the convenience might outweigh that

Yes, sales tax no longer in the prices on the shelf or website. It adds 15% (most other stuff you buy has 7% for PST/5% GST here, though even prepared food in restaurants has no PST so that's a nice little saving compared to ON).

Martincath...does Nestor's sell non-alcoholic wines or will we need to go to the liquor store. Just need something for sailaway....

All the local supermarkets carry a few non-alcoholic and even 'cooking wines' (with added salt to discourage drinking, ghastly things!).

 

I assume you mean the Gastown Nester's, closest to the pier? I don't shop there often enough to give you any idea how good the selection is in that particular branch I'm afraid, but at the very least some sort of fruity champagne-esque fizzy 'wine' should be available.

Thanks! Just what I needed to know...

There's an urban fare not too far from the cruise port. Probably a better chance of getting something fizzy and non alcoholic there. It's like whole foods :)
