Drinks delivered to your doorstep. What a wonderful concept. If your bar cart is running dry, and you want something a little more boutique (and local) than what’s on the shelves at your local bottle shop, Brisbane has plenty of options to top you up.
Whether you enjoy craft beer, natural wine or gin, we've dug up the very best alcohol delivery and subscriptions on offer in Brisbane.
Wine Delivery In Brisbane
City Winery
Booze packs, rosés, whites and reds. Make like you’re on a vineyard tour with City Winery’s array of wines from their own Gerler Wines. Order in time for the weekend and pair a wine with your friends, a cheeseboard, and an air of sophistication.
La Valle
Wine delivered in 30 minutes for $1? Yes, it’s possible, and La Valle in Fortitude Valley are the legends doing it, as long as you’re within their delivery rane. What does this mean? In theory, you can coordinate your Uber Eats order with your wine delivery. That’s multitasking at its finest.
Vivino
Most of us will know Vivino as "the wine app". Using image recognition tech, it allows you to snap a picture of a bottle of wine and get a detailed description of the wine, its estimated retail price, a star rating and user reviews and tasting notes. Basically, it's the Shazam for wine. But did you also know you can shop an enormous range of wines from Vivino? It's the world's largest online wine marketplace, and it uses all those user reviews and tasting notes to deliver personalised wine recommendations. You can shop by price range, region, food pairing, grapes and a regularly updated list of trending wines in Aus.
Vinomofo
The chaps at Vinomofo know a thing or two about pleasing their thousands of members. More than just a wine retailer, Vinomofo has come a long way from its roots in an Adelaide garage. With choice deals, wine education videos, and an entire subculture for you to join, it's easy to see how the young Vinomofo represents the future of buying wine online.
Beer Delivery In Brisbane
Slipstream Brewing

Bacchus Brewing
Capalaba’s Bacchus Brewing has an extensive beer range with classic and funky flavours to keep you on your toes. Did we mention that they have free shipping? That’s right, free shipping with a delivery flat rate of $15. So order up straight to your door.
Sea Legs Brewing
Imagine you’re drinking a cold one by the sea. Except you’re in your living room. It’s basically the same thing when you’re drinking a Sea Legs beverage. Plus, there’s only a $5 flat-rate local shipping for Brisbane within a 15km radius and free local Brisbane shipping on orders over $100—so spend up big.
Beer Cartel
Talk about range. Beer Cartel offers over 1,000 Australian and international craft beers, and you can browse by style or brewery and curate a delivery that suits your vibe. Just note, if your selection is for weekend drinks with your gang, be sure to place your order three days before to allow for delivery time.
Craft Cartel
If you’re the kind of beer drinker who picks up a different six pack of craft beer every time you hit the bottle-o, you’ll love Craft Cartel. These guys wade through thousands of new releases and breweries to bring you the ultimate selection of frothies, which you can purchase by the case load or by a subscription which scores you a box of new brews to sample every month. We know which one we’d choose. You can even gift a box to someone else—dad’s birthday/Christmas/Father’s Day present, sorted.
Spirits Delivery In Brisbane
Granddad Jack’s
Granddad Jack’s Craft Distillery has a mighty fine range of spirits, featuring three different types of gin, coffee liquor and vodka. Or, if you prefer a neater approach to alcohol, you can’t miss their range of whiskey. Plus, there’s free shipping on orders over $50.
Brisbane Distillery
Gins, rhums and vodkas, all available by the bottle—that’s what you can order from West End’s Brisbane Distillery. But wait, there’s more. Each comes with the option for a free refill. We’ll say that again: Free. Refill. Plus, Brisbane Distillery sources their botanicals from local suppliers, supporting the Queensland spirit (get it?).
Winston Quinn Gin
Winston Quinn Gin has all the bottles of gin goodness that you could hope for. But what’s even more tempting is their cocktail kits—the perfect packs for you and your friends to become your own mixologists. Oh, and if this weren’t already enough, they have gin tasting packs, which come complete with a fancy glass. You’re welcome.
