Best Wine Shops in Bristol

17 of the 18 wine shops listed in Bristol publish their opening hours. The median one opens at 10 am and closes at 9 pm on a typical trading day.

Sunday is the day that catches visitors out: 11 venues in Bristol (65% of those with published hours) trade on Sunday, against 15 on Monday. 10 open seven days a week.

8 addresses stay open past 10 pm, which matters if you are buying after dinner rather than before it. Localz Store closes latest, at 12 am.

At the other end of the day, Localz Store opens earliest, at 12 am.

These hours come from each venue's own Google Business Profile as read in March 2026. They are regular hours: public holidays, August closures and harvest-season changes are not reflected, so call ahead for a specific date.

The 18 rated wine shops in Bristol carry 2,102 reviews between them. The mean rating is 4.52 out of 5 and the median is 4.6, and 13 venues hold 4.5 or better — 72% of the list.

Corks of North Street carries the highest rating with a review base large enough to mean something: 4.9 from 168 reviews. Veeno Bristol is the most reviewed address in Bristol, at 586.

A five-star average is worth less than it looks on a venue with a dozen reviews, which is why the ranking above is sorted by rating and review volume together rather than by rating alone. The rating also measures the visit, not the cellar: service, queueing and the state of the room all land in the same number as the wine selection. It is a starting filter, not a verdict on what is on the shelf.

Price level is published for 3 of the 18 wine shops in Bristol, and it splits as follows: 3 moderate (100%). Google's price level is a four-step band reported by the venue and by visitors, not a price list, so it says where an address sits relative to its neighbours rather than what a bottle costs.

The specialisations that recur most often in Bristol are Tasting Events (3), Local Wines (2). Filtering the list above by one of those is usually a faster route to the right shop than sorting by rating.
