Best Bottle Shops in Sydney

Independent bottle shops often occupy a special place in our weekly routines. They're the first port of call before a dinner party, or the last stop on the way to our favourite BYO restaurants. They may be known for their interesting range of beer, wine and spirits, but our favourite bottle of red is always in the same spot. Use this collection of Sydney's best bottle shops to meet your new local – it may be the start of a beautiful friendship.
