Eau de Vie

Eau-de-vie (French for ‘water of life’) is a clear, colourless, unaged brandy made from any type of fruit such as pears, plums, apples, and cherries. More unconventional options can also be used (anyone for carrots, apricots or pine buds?), but the aim of all eau-de-vie distillers is to precisely capture the fruit’s essence. Such a diverse range of ingredients produces an exciting prospect for those eager to explore this still relatively obscure spirit.

Vino Fino's selection of wines is second to none. The staff are always extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I select wines online, then pay when picking up.

Excellent wine store! Probably the best in town. You can find wall kinds of wine and from around the world. I even found a wine from my hometown Uruguay which is not easy to find at all on this side of the globe.

Thank you Vino Fino Team, Thank you so much for your help with the drinks for our wedding day! We couldn’t have been happier with the service from Vino Fino supplying us with a Chiller Trailer to use on the day! You made getting the wine for our wedding easy and fun. It was low stress, and we truly appreciated being able to bring back the unopened wine. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to our friends and family. We’re so grateful!

All the way in Christchurch, but occasionally order from this store as it has wines I like that I can't source elsewhere, at a great price too. Always great service, and will keep using them.
