Wine Shops in Calais

Beer & Wine Shops

All shops are in Calais unless otherwise indicated.

What you can buy;

ALCOHOL - 110 lts beer, 90 lts wine, 10 lts spirits, 20 lts fortified wine.

TOBACCO - 3,200 cigarettes, 200 cigars, 400 cigarillos, 3 Kg smoking tobacco.

Surprisingly few people come to Calais with a good knowledge of wine and knowing what they want to buy - witness the numbers outside the booze warehouses against the specifically wine shops. However there are many good shops selling well chosen wine at a good price. We get the feeling that the wine shops are more likely to have tasted the wines they sell.

CREDIT CARDS - we suggest you ring your credit card company before shopping in France - increased fraud means they are turning down shoppers cards if their spending deviates from the norm. Take your mobile - you can often sort the problem out over the phone.
