Calais Wine Superstore

[Kups]

Does anyone know when/if they are reopening?
Their website announcement hasn't changed for a very long time.

 

[Robert Clark]

Majestic is open again, though with a smaller range

 

[Boris7]

Suspect it’s never going to happen.

But if it does I’ll be there on the 16th October

I would look out for a 'NOZ' store...... their wine is brilliant and a lot cheaper than supermarkets,..... go online and there is a map of where the stores are.... its not a regular store, just a lot of end of lines, before Covid, we were buying N.Z. wine that we paid about £10 a bottle out there and it was 3 / 4€ a bottle.

Visited pidou last week. They have a greater range than they show on their website. The one at transmarck is open 24/8

18 litres or 24 bottles of still wine per adult.

Worth bringing an extra migrant back then

I know. Just as I said --- very little.

Will that last you until Xmas?

We used to use majestic in cocquelles but switched to just using the french supermarkets I didn't think the selection or price in majestic was any better apart from on wine from other countries and the range a lot more limited than in British majestic stores.
I never tried the others there are loads of places selling cheap wine in France if you want cheap try a rose wine box from the agricultural merchants it's just like you would expect it to be!

Recall there was one maybe two documentaries about the owners. Didn't they divorce, then the guy shacked up with a young east European girl. ? Later bought a night club or something.??

We popped into the big L'eclerc just around the corner from the Bergues Aire a few days ago. 2m height barriers on every entrance but I spotted a high transit going in down a little service road so followed him in. Big cave area inside so bought about 15 various bottles. Getting back out of the car park was a nightmare, I managed to squeeze past some dumpsters on a little side exit to escape.
