Wine Kitz
About Wine Kitz
The name Wine Kitz points toward wine and the kits and equipment for making it, though a liquor store can mean several different things depending on what actually fills the shelves. This one sits at 437 Glenmore Road in a building shared with one other business, out in the central-north neighbourhoods on the valley floor.
Liquor stores in this trade vary widely in what they carry, from ready made bottles and cans to the equipment and ingredients that let someone make a batch at home. Whichever kind a particular shop turns out to be, the useful questions stay the same: what is currently in stock, whether something not on the shelf can be special ordered, and how identification is handled for anyone buying for the first time.
There is a certain logic to a wine-related shop in the Okanagan, where fruit and vines are part of the landscape and a good share of the region's visitors come for what gets made from them. Glenmore works well as a base, close to downtown and to the routes running up toward the hillside campus corridor, so the trip is short from much of the city. Whatever the errand, calling or checking online before making a special trip is worth the two minutes it takes, since stock and services differ from one liquor store to the next.
