i really don't think that there are a "million" of these stores around, especially when this one is over 500 square meters devoted purely to liquor. my point was not to say that this place is better than carrefour, or to say that the selection is amazing. a place that has better prices and selection than Carrefour would no doubt make for a good post, but until that place exists, we might just have to make do with what is around. the point of this post was just to alert people to another choice they have in purchasing liquor, especially if they happen to be in that neighborhood and need to buy something and don't want to go to carrefour or some other market.

I am an incorrigible drunk. And...yawn...their alcohol selection isn't as large as Carrefour's, and it's slightly more expensive. There's one or two alcohols there that aren't available at Carrefour, and for those alcohols, it's about the same price as going to City Market or foreigner-oriented grocery stores like that. But really there's a million stores just like this all around Shanghai, this store offers nothing cheap or unique, the selection is nothing amazing, and this story shouldn't have been posted in the first place. Well, the website is an easy way to learn the Chinese names for various types of booze. The real investigative reporting is - where does Moon River Diner get their Mt. Gay Eclipse rum? That's one decent rum that I haven't seen for sale anywhere else in Shanghai.

Nice! But I can't read chinese characters... I hope that there will be a english version as well. Could someone please check whether they sell 'Aperol'? Or does anyone know where to get Aperol? Thx, Christof!
