Majestic Wine

Fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable staff,
Selected wine and sprits tasting, everyday, all day. Stock ranges for all pockets and tastes. Excellent glass hire/loan service too.
Plus wine and beer tasting events from time to time.
(The small car park is handy also)

Phenomenal service. I am no wine expert but I knew which blends and regions I wanted to try. Henry walked me around the store recommending several wines and explaining what he liked about them - he explained what to look out for in terms of flavours and aromas and gave me a few to taste. He could not have been more helpful. He spent ages with me, didn’t seem to be in any rush and didn’t make me feel in any way uncomfortable by my lack of wine knowledge. Very nice manner and a pleasure to buy my wine from here!

Apparently the busiest Majestic in the UK!? Great wine selection - obviously - but it’s the friendliness of the staff and their passion for wine that sets it aside. Store Manager, Henry, and his team clearly love their jobs and talking to customers - helping them make great choices.

Back in April 2020 they were in home delivery only mode, due to the pandemic - but still great service as they called to confirm and discuss your order.

My current favourite is a previous recommendation of theirs - a stunning Primotivo! Their ‘own brand’ range - Definition - is also very good; particularly the Carménère and Zinfandel. Also great for beers, ciders and mixers too.

December 2020 Tier 4 Update: Open for in-store custom & collections.

Great shop. Really enjoy coming here. The staff are all super friendly and know me by name now...i really enjoy being called Mr.B!
Long may they continue to serve the local area!
I'd like a tad more natural wine though :)

Great service and thanks for the experience. Shop was clean and tidy with an excellent range of drinks

Excellent service for our wedding. From start to finish and very friendly, professional and customer centric service. Spoke with various individuals to help plan our wedding wine delivery, having to navigate postponements, changes in stock and even honouring historic prices without being requested to.

Couldn't recommend them enough!

I had shopped at Majestic St Albans for many years : 15+. The store used to be well-run, with helpful, knowledgeable, efficient and friendly staff.
Sadly, this is no longer the case:-
Problems fulfilling a simple online order. Unauthorised substitutions. Double charging instead of a credit. They don't answer the phone or return calls.
Pretty hopeless. Best avoided; there are plenty of alternatives around :-(

Fairly good selection esp. English bubbly. A bit short on Spanish but otherwise a broad selection of non-French vino. Friendly staff. Tastings possible. Good parking.
