Lavinia — Wine shop in Paris

More than 6,500 wines, champagnes, spirits and accessories from over 30 countries: the largest wine shop in Paris. About a third of the range is non-French: Italy, Spain, South Africa, Australia, Hungary, Switzerland and more. On the ground floor there are wine dispensers (2-3 cl per taste, with a top-up card) that let you taste anything from inexpensive house wines to rare Grands Crus, including extremely rare bottles such as Mouton Rothschild. In the cellar is a sanctuary of the most expensive bottles, behind glass: you can look, but access is only with a sommelier. There's a wine bar where you can open any bottle from the shop without corkage, paying just the shop price.
