The Bottle-O Mana

About The Bottle-O Mana

The Bottle-O Mana is the local bottle shop for Mana, Paremata and the surrounding Porirua harbour-side suburbs, trading on Mana Esplanade as part of the nationwide Bottle-O network. It is operated by Nirmal 0013 Limited under a current New Zealand liquor licence, with a straightforward proposition: a full bottle-shop range, regular specials, and the flexibility of shopping online or in store.

The range covers every department you would expect — beer, wine, spirits, RTDs, cider and port — plus a non-alcoholic section, confectionery and snacks, gifts and gift cards. Wine is the store's strongest suit: its online range lists 247 wines sorted into red, white, sparkling, fortified and cask styles, taking in labels such as 19 Crimes, Allan Scott, Babich, Akarua, Babydoll, Brancott Estate, Brown Brothers and Banrock Station — from easy midweek bottles through to Central Otago pinot noir and Barossa Valley shiraz.

Shopping is flexible. The store's website lets you browse the full catalogue, check the latest specials across wine, spirits, beer and RTDs, view the current catalogue, and order for click and collect — choose Mana as your pickup location and the site shows what is available. Not every product is stocked in every Bottle-O, so the online availability check is worth a moment before you head out.

The store opens seven days: 10am to 8pm Monday to Wednesday, 10am to 9pm Thursday to Saturday, and 10am to 7pm on Sunday. As with any New Zealand liquor store, sales are strictly R18 — it is an offence to sell or supply alcohol to anyone under 18 — and the store asks customers to drink responsibly. All prices are in NZD.

The Bottle-O Mana: Wine, Beer & Spirits on Mana Esplanade, Porirua

The Bottle-O Mana is what a neighbourhood bottle shop should be: close to home, well stocked, and open late on the nights you need it. You'll find it on Mana Esplanade in Mana, serving Paremata and the wider Porirua harbour side. It's the local branch of The Bottle-O, a nationwide New Zealand liquor network, and it runs as a genuine local business — the operator of record is Nirmal 0013 Limited, trading under a current New Zealand liquor licence.

Step inside — or browse online — and the first thing you notice is the depth of the range. This is a full-line bottle shop: beer, wine, spirits, RTDs, cider and port all have their own departments, and there's plenty beyond the bottle. The store also carries a non-alcoholic range for the designated driver, confectionery and snacks for the evening in, and a gifts section that includes gift cards — the reliable answer when you're heading to a dinner or barbecue and need something to bring.

The wine wall is the main event

If wine is what you came for, the Mana store delivers. Its online range alone lists 247 wines, sorted into red, white, sparkling, fortified and cask, and the mix runs from easy midweek drinkers to bottles with real pedigree. New Zealand favourites are well represented: Allan Scott's Marlborough staples in sauvignon blanc, pinot gris and merlot, Babich's Hawke's Bay syrah and Marlborough pinot noir, Ara's single estate pinot noir, Babydoll's Central Otago pinot noir and Brancott Estate chardonnay.

Australia is well covered too, with the 19 Crimes line-up spanning cabernet sauvignon, shiraz, malbec, pinot noir and sparkling, Barossa Valley cabs and shiraz, Banrock Station's cabernet merlot, and Brown Brothers' moscatos, proseccos and Cienna — including a salted caramel edition. Value hunters are looked after by house labels such as Bay & Barnes across merlot, chardonnay, pinot gris and sauvignon blanc, so the range works whether you're after a Tuesday-night pour or something for the rack.

Specials, click and collect, and shopping your way

The Bottle-O Mana leans into the things that make a modern bottle shop easy. The store's site keeps a live specials section across wine, spirits, beer and RTDs, alongside the latest catalogue, so it pays to look before you shop. Better still, the range is shoppable online with click and collect: set Mana as your pickup location, check what's in stock — not every product is available in every Bottle-O — and collect your order at the Esplanade store. There's a delivery and pickup timetable on the site too if you're planning ahead.

The hours are generous. The store opens at 10am every day, trades until 8pm Monday to Wednesday, runs late to 9pm Thursday through Saturday and closes at 7pm on Sundays. If you're chasing something specific, the team can be reached on 04 233 0567 or at [email protected].

A couple of house rules, the same at any New Zealand bottle shop: you must be 18 or over, it's an offence to sell or supply alcohol to anyone under 18, and the store's standing message is to drink responsibly. All prices are in NZD.

Whether it's a few bottles of Bay & Barnes for the week, a Marlborough pinot noir for Friday night, cold beers for a sunny afternoon, or a gift card for someone impossible to buy for, The Bottle-O Mana covers the whole spectrum — with the convenience of an online range you can browse before you even leave the couch.
