Bottle Apostle | Crouch End

Great wine and whisky shop in Crouch End with knowledgeable staff and excellent tastings. Bottle Apostle is well known locally for specialising in wine, but they also have a great selection of other alcoholic drinks. I went in looking for a Scotch whisky, and the staff kindly offered me a couple to taste, which really helped me decide which one suited my palate best. The whisky I chose was absolutely delicious, and I’m really happy with the recommendation. The staff are very helpful and clearly very knowledgeable about the products they sell, which is a huge plus. It makes the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable rather than rushed. It’s a great shop in a fantastic location, and the fact that they offer tastings is a big bonus. If you’re in Crouch End and looking for a quality bottle of wine, whisky, or another interesting drink, it’s definitely worth dropping in for a chat and seeing what suits your taste.

Great wine selection and craft beers are also really good. Staff are knowledgeable and happy to chat through various options/preferences.

I was in a rush to buy a Xmas present, and the gentleman behind the counter was so helpful knowledgeable and efficient. Amazing service and a really diverse and intresting selection of wines and beers

The most friendly and helpful guy spent ages with me helping to choose some beers as a birthday gift. He was super knowledgable and could even suggest some fun things to try based on the preferences I shared. Super helpful, will be back next year!

Just called the store to enquire for an event we're putting on, the gentleman on the phone was incredibly rude, did not allow me to finish my sentence or explain what I'm after and then hung up on me.

Great wine shop. I am super fussy about wine, but after a few questions, I was able to find the right one which tasted amazing. Definitely, one of the best shops in crouch end

A lovely shop with a fantastic selection of wine and some really interesting beers. The staff are always welcoming and so helpful, very knowledgeable if you want a hand, happy to let you browse if that's what you prefer. They do discounts for orders of 6+ bottles of wine, deliver locally, and have been thoughtful throughout covid - carefully managing the number of people inside the shop and providing hand sanitiser on entry. Highly recommend the Exale Brewery "Getting Figgy with it" and the Sampietrana 1952 red, the latter I tried on recommendation and loved so much I've bought a bottle for my nearest and dearest for Christmas!

Great range of wines and beers and friendly and helpful staff. Like the card you can use to sample different wines. Prices are a little on the steep side, but quality is top notch.

Very friendly service, knowledgable and a good selection of craft beer. Get the loyalty stamp to get a discount (over 12 bottles I think) and future discounts. Nice addition to area.

A very solid bottle shop. They probably have a more extensive selection of wine, but the beer range is very good. There is an emphasis on London breweries, and during my visit they had loads of stuff from The Kernel, Beavertown, Camden and numerous others. The prices are very good. The staff is friendly. The beers are nicely organised. Definitely a worthwhile stop if you are in the area, although I wouldn't call this place a destination in and of itself.
