While most local supermarkets offer a fairly serviceable range of wines, there are two problems with this – one, do you really want to be drinking serviceable wine? And two, do you really want to go outside to get it? Obviously lots of people don't, as online wine delivery is huge in Hong Kong and it's easy to see why – it's often much cheaper and you get a much higher quality wine for your money, plus selections are usually curated in a way that you really know what you're getting as opposed to having to rely on the limited information on the bottle. To help you find the finest bottles, we check out the best online wine delivery stores and apps. Cheers!

Brix Wines & Spirits
We all know space is a premium in Hong Kong, so for vino sellers, having a broad selection in-store just isn't realistic. Such is the case with
Brix, although its Tai Hang and Sheung Wan stores are certainly a delight to browse, the selection pales in comparison to its online offering which is a fairly comprehensive library of wines, Champagnes, and spirits from around the world. Sign up to become a member (free when you spend over $500) and you’ll get five-15 percent off purchases.
Brix Wine & Spirits, (+852) 2306 9110
Delivery is free to Hong Kong Island or Kowloon when you spend $1,800 and pick up is free
Boutique Wines
Specialising in wines from Australia and New Zealand,
Boutique Wines is a good option if you're looking to take your next dinner party up a notch without busting the bank. It has a shop in Ap Lei Chau, but you're probably best off utilising its website.
Boutique Wines, (+852) 2872 4234 / 2525 3899
Delivery is free over $1,000 to Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and New Territories; additional charge for outlying islands
Cellarmaster Wines
Going against the general view that wine, and the purchasing of wine, should be relaxing, the
Cellarmaster Wines website instantly incites excitement and panic upon opening. It's a visual cacophony of deals and exploding offers, all with their own countdown clock and ever-receding counter displaying how many are left in stock. Play it cool however, and you can run away with some outrageous deals.
Cellarmaster Wines, (+852) 6011 6292
Delivery is free over $800 to Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and New Territories; additional charge for outlying islands
Laithwaites Direct Wines
Ideal if you like to buy in bulk,
Laithwaites sells by the case, while still allowing you to mix and match however you please. Also, quite spectacularly, if there's a bottle you're not keen on, you're guaranteed a refund!

Delivery is free over $800 and the company is one of the few to deliver to the outlying islands, for an extra charge of $60 per case
Winerack
If you're looking to buy on a budget, then
Winerack should be your next port of call due to its sections devoted to wines under $70 and bin ends. If you're not that fussy, you can just go for a pre-mixed case, bagging yourself six bottles for a very reasonable $375.
Winerack, (+852) 2433 9929
Delivery is free on orders of six bottles or more, or you can pick up at one of their designated locations on Fridays for free
Watson’s Wine Cellar
This Hong Kong wine staple has no shortage of stores around the city. Although it may not specialise as much as some of the others on the list,
Watson's Wine Cellar has an excellent all round selection and the prices are quite reasonable. Solid.

Wine ‘n’ Things
Specialising in bottles from Australia, South Africa, the US, and Chile,

Wine ‘n’ Things, (+852) 2873 5733
Delivery $120 for orders below $1,000 to Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and New Territories (extra for outlying islands)
Wine To My Door
From the mind of vino maestro Eddie McDougall,
Wine To My Door is a great way to go if you want something of an education in wine, with handpicked selections that are both esoteric and well-informed. There are several packages available starting at $800 a month which gets you a load of ace vino and McDougall's own tasting notes.
Wine To My Door, (+852) 2522 2187
