This shop is one of the distributors that imports the famous Chilean wine, Montes Alpha.
Chilean wines, in general, are exceptionally well-priced in South Korea.
The key driver behind this is the Korea-Chile Free Trade Agreement (FTA).
Since the agreement took effect in 2004, the 15% import tariff previously imposed on Chilean wines has been completely eliminated, making them incredibly affordable.

White wines and champagnes are neatly arranged in their own dedicated sections.

White wine is beloved for its diverse range of aromas and flavors. Whether you prefer vibrant citrus notes, lush stone fruits, or complex secondary aromas, there is truly something for everyone. While Riesling seems to take center stage in the white wine section, you can also find plenty of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc in other parts of the shop.

They also carry magnum-sized bottles.
The 2011 vintage of Opus One was crafted by winemaker Michael Silacci, while Tim Mondavi is now producing wine at Continuum.
If you enjoyed the classic style of past Opus One vintages, I highly recommend trying Continuum.

Personally, I love French Burgundy wines—Pinot Noir is my absolute favorite!
I was thrilled to spot the last bottle of my go-to wine remaining on the shelf.

If you’re a wine lover, I believe good wine is an essential part of any trip.
Wine shops inside department stores can be quite expensive, and convenience stores or local supermarkets often have a limited selection.
That’s why I highly recommend this Busan wine shop as the perfect alternative.
