The Wine Shop

About

The Wine Shop serves Shetland from 113 Commercial St in Lerwick ZE1 0DL.

The store operates as a liquor store on Lerwick's main street, and visitors rate it at 4.4 out of 5 from 19 reviews. Reaching it from elsewhere in Shetland is manageable, with Scalloway, Brae, Yell, Unst, Whalsay and Bressay all connected to Lerwick by road or ferry. Lerwick itself is the islands' main town, and the shop sits within its centre.

Summer brings long daylight hours and crowded ferries, while winter sailings are often cancelled by weather, so travel timing matters on Shetland. British islands have mild, wet and changeable weather, warmed by the Gulf Stream and often windy.

Standing stones, brochs and early Christian chapels survive on many British islands, giving the wider area a long visible history. British islands range from low chalk and sandstone to rugged sea cliffs cut by glacial erosion. Lerwick's harbour side streets hold shops, and the town serves as the main base for ferries heading to Bressay and the northern isles. A visit here fits naturally into a day spent around the town centre.
