As you might expect, very strong on the classic regions. Impressive array of famous names, with a few hidden gems tucked away. Prices are high, but you won't be coming here for £7 Australian wines! It's a fun place to shop. Informed reader reports: "Prices seem very erratic; sometimes very steep, sometimes not so steep at all. Worth chasing at almost all price levels, though the lower price levels are thinly populated , and caution is always advised.

An excellent place to shop for wine. Especially strong in the classic French areas and Italy; brief but good selections from elsewhere. The list is really well put together, with notes on many of the wines, and plenty of quotes from critics (such as Coates, Parker and La Revue du Vin de France). Prices are reasonable, especially if you are buying by the mixed case.

Unusually for a high street multiple, Majestic sells by the case (mixed or unmixed) only. However, the range has some real highlights and is uniformly strong, so selecting a case here is not a big problem. There is usually a good range of wines open for tasting in store, too.  Probably the most dynamic of its peer group.

Just a short walk from Knightsbridge or South Kensington Tube stations. Excellent range that is particularly strong on Burgundies.  Interesting list is littered with a sort of public school patois ('Good kit', 'Very yummy', 'Really rather damn good'): maybe that's what the wealthy customers of Chelsea and Kensington like. Informed reader reports: "Frightening prices for its top bottles; on the other hand, it has stuff on the shelves that you only get on broking lists elsewhere."
