Acland Cellars

Acland Cellars is a St Kilda, Melbourne liquor shop with a broad online and in-store range spanning beer, wine, spirits, cider, ready-to-drink products, soft drinks, mixers and miscellaneous items. Its website positions the business as more than a standard beer retailer, with particular experience in ciders, spirits, liqueurs and seltzers. The selection includes familiar labels alongside less commonly available products sourced from overseas, making it a useful stop for shoppers looking beyond the usual bottle-shop range.

The range is especially strong for people interested in international drinks. The beer selection includes European and New Zealand products as well as harder-to-find styles, while the wine catalogue covers red, white, rosé, sparkling and Champagne. The spirits list also reaches well beyond mainstream Australian offerings, with products from countries including Poland, Thailand, Finland and Peru. Ready-to-drink stock includes hard iced teas, hard seltzers, fruit-based drinks and other packaged options. The website also features products such as Modelo Especial, Tennents Lager, Terra Sancta Pinot Noir and Louis Perdrier Brut.

The business is family run, and its owner is described as having 50 years of liquor experience in Australia. That background informs the store’s emphasis on knowledgeable staff and personal assistance. Customers who cannot find a particular product are invited to contact the business with requests, which suggests the team is open to helping with more unusual searches rather than limiting shoppers to what is already on the shelf. Online reviews also point to friendly service, strong customer support and a selection of rare or obscure beers and European products.

Acland Cellars suits a range of shopping needs, from picking up everyday drinks to tracking down something distinctive for a dinner, celebration or gift. It offers online ordering, in-store click and collect, and delivery across Australia; the website advertises free shipping for orders over $250, subject to its stated conditions. The site says the store trades 365 days a year, though checking current details before visiting is sensible. With a Google rating of 4.6 from 92 reviews, it has also built a positive local reputation.
