Amsterdam wine shops near the airport or port


Recommended Posts

Right at the airport in the large arrival hall, (after clearing customs and after getting your luggage) you will find many shops. One of them is AH supermarket (Albert Heyn) , they have a nice collection of wines.

In case you stay overnight in Amsterdam most supermarkets (among them also some AH stores) sell wines.

Thank you. I will check it out when we arrive into Schiphol. Do you know if there's an AH stor near the port?

At Centraal station is a small AH to go with limited options. A large AH is near Dam square.

you might use google and try to find another grocery store, but as far as I know there isnnothing closer to the terminal.

There is a Gall & Gall specialist wine shop right beside Albert Heijn in the Plaza at Schiphol. This YouTube video is about the Albert Heijn store, but you can see the Gall & Gall shop beside it.

 

 

In general, I find that Albert Heijn has a limited selection of wines mainly at the cheaper end of the market. For example, the two branches of AH that I use regularly, in the centre of The Hague, do not stock champagne. Gall & Gall has an extensive selection of still and sparkling wines, at all price levels, as well as a large selection of single malt Scotch whiskies.

Their website is in Dutch, but is fairly easy to decipher. ''Wijn'' is wine, ''rode'' is red, ''witte'' is white, and ''Mousserend'' is sparkling.

 

This is their store locator site.

In the box ''postcode of plaats'', put in Amsterdam for a list of all their shops in the city. Perhaps Ine could advise if any of them are convenient for the port.

Dermot,

 

Thank you for the information and the quick "Dutch" lesson. I'll give it a go.

Closest by is the Jumbo supermarket (AH's largest competitor, better pricing) at Oostelijke Handelskade 1005. And a bit further an AH.

 

1.5km away from the PTA, one straight walk along the cay. Or take the tram for one stop or some 3 minutes by car. Can't miss their yellow branding!

Located in the "winkelcentrum Brazilie".

There's also a chain wine store there; The Grape District for more high end wines.

Enjoy!

 

Btw credit card acceptance at supermarkets isn't very common (yet) here so better bring cash or PIN to be sure.

Last year as we walked from pancake-Amsterdam (on Berenstraat) through the Joordan back to the Marriott, we went to two very nice wine stores. I have no idea what street they were on as we were headed back to the hotel and I wish I had written it down but I didn't. Anyone have any ideas on what street that would have been?
