The best off-licences in Northern Ireland?

    Hope someone can help me out. I am interested in sourcing craft and foreign beers as well as wines in the north. Does anyone know if any of the Sainsbury outlets carry the full range of beers featured on their website? Are there other off-licences that stock a good range of ales, stouts or wines?
    Any help appreciated.

    The two best in Belfast, I hear, are Gap Wines and The Vineyard. Coverage in Sainsbury's is very spotty.

    The Vineyard also has the full rang of Sam Smith range of beers that you don't find down here

    Thanks for the replies. The selection on The Gap site is impressive. Will check out both of them. Cheers!

    Re: wine, I think McAnerney's in Armagh is one of NI's best wine shops. Was in Sainsbury's in Armagh as well the other day. Lovely selection of beers there.

    Yes they've done a good job with it. Shame the beer selection didn't get a similar overhaul.

    They've really crammed them in well to that tiny space. I've found the selection there to be better than bigger Sainsburyses like Newry and Sprucefield.
