The Crafty Vintner combines a wine merchant and a tasting room in one premises on the Lisburn Road. Customers can browse the retail wine wall, choosing from several hundred bottles spanning New World producers and classic European regions, or sit in on the four Enomatic dispensing machines, which pour thirty-two open wines by the glass in three measures. Bottles bought from the shop can be opened and enjoyed at the tasting room's tables for a corkage fee, blurring the line between off-licence and wine bar. The tasting room itself has an outdoor terrace and runs a programme of tasting evenings and events through the year. It stocks craft beer and spirits alongside wine, and offers delivery across Belfast for online orders.
