The VintageWine Merchants

The Vintage Wine Merchants occupies a shopfront on Church Street in Antrim, a short walk from Third Day Coffee, stocking red, white, rosé and sparkling wines alongside Scotch whisky, gin, rum, craft ales, cider and cigars. The range leans toward customers assembling a case for a specific occasion rather than grabbing a single bottle on the way home, with staff able to talk through a Scotch or a wine by grape rather than just pointing at the shelf. A second, smaller branch trades a few miles away on Moores Lane in Randalstown, giving the business a presence on both sides of the borough. Both shops keep independent hours rather than matching the supermarkets, and neither is part of a national off-licence group.
