Glengarry Wines has been delivering fine wine in New Zealand since 1945, growing into a network of bricks-and-mortar stores across Auckland alongside its online shop. The company believes customers still want to touch and taste the product, and guarantees the same high level of service, the same quality of product, and the same offer and price no matter which store a customer shops at, physical or online.
Glengarry's stores are built around selling good and exciting wines for the wine-conscious consumer, alongside a strong range of beers, spirits, specialty deli foods and merchandising. The company places a strong emphasis on high quality product selection and international sourcing, backed by promotional activity and quality staff that the business says have been central to its strategy since it began in 1945.
Beyond wine, Glengarry stocks a full range of beer and cider (from mainstream lagers to craft styles like pale ale, pilsner, sours and stout, plus favourites like Garage Project, Heineken, Lion Red, Puhoi, Steinlager and Stella Artois), spirits (bourbon, gin, rum, tequila, vodka and more), and a dedicated whisky range spanning American, Irish, Scotch, Single Malt, New Zealand and Australian whisky, along with a Malt Club. The company also runs tasting events and clubs, including a Craft Beer Club, Fine Wine tastings, a Pinot Noir Club, Spirit Tastings and a Wine Academy, plus function and event space hire, gifting services, and glassware from brands like Riedel and Spiegelau.
Glengarry Wines has been part of New Zealand's wine scene since 1945, building a reputation on the simple idea that customers still want to touch, taste and talk about the products they buy — even in an era of online shopping.
Whether a customer walks into one of Glengarry's Auckland stores or shops through the website, the company promises the same high level of service, the same quality of product, and the same offer and price. That consistency, paired with promotional activity and quality staff, is something Glengarry says has underpinned its business strategy right from the start back in 1945.
While wine is at the heart of the business — spanning red, white, champagne, sparkling, dessert wine, port and sherry, rosé, and even low and no-alcohol options — Glengarry's stores also stock a serious range of beer, spirits and specialty deli foods. Beer and cider run from mainstream lagers through to a genuinely broad craft range covering ales, dark beers, gluten-free options, pale ale, pilsner, sours and stout, alongside favourites like Garage Project, Heineken, Lion Red, Puhoi, Steinlager and Stella Artois. Cider drinkers get apple, pear and other styles, plus growlers for those wanting to fill up and take away.
Glengarry's spirits range covers bourbon, brandy and cognac, gin, liqueurs, RTD/premix drinks, rum, tequila, vermouth and vodka. Whisky gets its own dedicated space, spanning American, Irish and Scotch whisky, single malts, New Zealand and Australian whisky, and a Malt Club for enthusiasts wanting to go deeper. A sister Whisky Shop and Spirits offering rounds out the wider Glengarry group.
Among the products regularly highlighted by Glengarry are the Moutard Famille Blanc De Blancs Methode Traditionnelle NV, Mont Redon Cotes Du Rhone Reserve, Veuve Clicquot Champagne Brut Gift Boxed, Bijou Terre De Providence Rose, De Bortoli Prosecco, Moet and Chandon Champagne Imperial Brut Gift Box, and the Backyard Central Otago Pinot Noir — a spread that runs from everyday drinking to celebration-worthy champagne.
Glengarry runs a calendar of tasting events across its Auckland stores, along with dedicated clubs including a Craft Beer Club, Fine Wine tastings, a Pinot Noir Club, Spirit Tastings, and a Wine Academy for those wanting to build their knowledge. The company also offers function and event space hire, along with party quotes for anyone planning a larger gathering.
Beyond the drinks themselves, Glengarry offers a dedicated gifting range — including gift vouchers, DIY gift options, hampers, and gifts tailored to specific people or occasions like birthdays, Father's Day, Mother's Day and Valentine's Day — plus glassware from recognised brands including Riedel, Spiegelau and Eisch.
Glengarry operates seven physical stores across Auckland: Victoria Park, Herne Bay, Ponsonby, Bassett Road, Khyber Pass, Parnell and Westmere, alongside delivery and Click & Collect options for those shopping online. Customers can reach the company on its free phone line, 0800 733 505, for enquiries, orders, or to find out what tastings are happening in their area. As with any licensed alcohol retailer, customers must be 18 years or older to purchase.
