The Bottle-O Cambridge Terrace is a neighbourhood liquor store on Cambridge Terrace in Te Aro, central Wellington, and part of The Bottle-O — one of New Zealand's most familiar networks of local bottle shops. The store is operated by Krishiv Enterprise NZ Ltd and trades under liquor licence #49C/OFF/14/2026, with all prices in NZD.
The range covers the full spread of drinks categories: beer, wine (with red, white, sparkling, fortified and cask wine sub-departments), spirits, RTDs, cider and port, alongside a non-alcoholic section, confectionery and snacks, and a gifts and other items department. Gift cards are available in store and online.
Wine is the deep end of the range, with hundreds of lines at any one time — from everyday whites like Selaks Essential Selection Sauvignon Blanc, Allan Scott Pinot Gris and the Babydoll range, through the 19 Crimes reds and Brown Brothers moscatos, up to Mumm Marlborough Rosé and Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut for celebrations. Rolling specials run across wine, spirits, beer and RTDs, with the latest catalogue published online.
Shopping is flexible too: the store offers online ordering with Click & Collect and delivery, and it trades seven days a week — midday to 10pm Monday to Wednesday, 11am to 10pm Thursday, and 11am to 9pm Friday to Sunday. As with all New Zealand liquor outlets, sales are strictly 18+, and it is an offence to sell or supply alcohol to anyone under 18.
On Cambridge Terrace in Te Aro, right in the middle of inner-city Wellington, The Bottle-O Cambridge Terrace is the neighbourhood's local bottle shop. It is part of The Bottle-O, one of New Zealand's most familiar networks of community liquor stores, and is operated locally by Krishiv Enterprise NZ Ltd under liquor licence #49C/OFF/14/2026. Like every store in the group, it combines the range and buying power of a national brand with the day-to-day feel of a corner shop — the kind of place people duck into on the way home, or ring up when they need a specific bottle found fast.
The departments cover the full spread of a well-stocked New Zealand liquor store: beer, wine, spirits, RTDs, cider and port, with a dedicated non-alcoholic section for anyone skipping the alcohol. There is a confectionery and snacks department for the chips-and-chocolate run, a gifts and other items section for when a bottle alone needs back-up, and gift cards available both in store and online — a reliable answer to the problem of buying a drink for someone whose taste you cannot quite place.
Wine is where the range goes deepest. The store lists hundreds of wine lines at a time — around 285 at recent count — spread across red, white, sparkling, fortified and cask wine.
The shelves read like a cross-section of what people actually drink. Everyday whites include Selaks Essential Selection Sauvignon Blanc, Allan Scott Pinot Gris, Bay & Barnes Sauvignon Blanc and the Babydoll trio of pinot gris, rosé and sauvignon blanc. Red drinkers can work through the full 19 Crimes line-up — cabernet sauvignon, shiraz, malbec, pinot noir and hard chardonnay — alongside Arrogant Frog's shiraz and pinot noir, Banrock Station shiraz, Brookfields Back Block Syrah and Brown Brothers' Origin cabs.
For sweet tooths and celebration shopping, Brown Brothers' moscato line runs from still through sparkling to rosa styles, with prosecco from King Valley and a non-vintage prosecco rosé; Canti Prosecco comes in both 750mL and handy 200mL bottles. When the occasion calls for the top shelf, there is Mumm Marlborough Rosé for a sparkling moment, and Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut in a giftbox for the big gestures.
The store runs rolling specials across wine, spirits, beer and RTDs, promoted on its website alongside the latest catalogue. If you are stocking a fridge or planning an event, it pays to scan the specials pages first — the online listings can be sorted by biggest percentage or dollar savings, which makes the discounts easy to spot.
Shopping here does not have to mean standing in the wine aisle deciding. The online shop lets you browse the range, check availability and choose between Click & Collect and delivery, with a delivery and pickup timetable published on the site. Sign in and the store also tracks your last order and frequent purchases, so restocking the usual bottles becomes a two-minute job.
The store trades seven days. Monday to Wednesday the hours are midday to 10pm; Thursday runs 11am to 10pm; and Friday through Sunday it is 11am to 9pm. As with any New Zealand liquor outlet you must be 18 or over — it is an offence to sell or supply alcohol to, or obtain alcohol for, anyone under 18 — and all prices are in NZD.
One practical note: not every product is available in every Bottle-O store. If you are chasing a specific bottle, checking the online shop or ringing ahead on 04 385 1743 is the surest way to avoid a wasted trip. Please drink responsibly.
Whether it is a bottle for tonight's dinner, a case for the weekend, a gift card with the wrapping sorted, or the snacks nobody remembered to buy, The Bottle-O Cambridge Terrace covers the neighbourhood round: close, well stocked and open every day of the week.
