Tips for a Better Visit
Bring passport. If you are visiting as a tourist, bring your passport; one review specifically says it was required at the counter.
Avoid peak hours. Try not to arrive late on Friday or Saturday, when queues can stretch out of the door and closing time gets busy.
Use the app. For evening queues, check the MMI app: a customer said ordering there can let you skip the line.
Shop independently. Do not buy alcohol for someone who lacks the required licence or identification; a review warns this could cause trouble.
Plan purchases. If you want a particular wine, research it beforehand because one review says bottle photography was not allowed.
