Crooked Drinks opened in late 2024 on Smith St, just north of Johnstone St, in the heart of Collingwood.
The focus at Crooked Drinks is to showcase emerging and noteworthy producers, local or abroad, that are part of the new-wave of winemakers who are making juice outside (or in spite of) the traditionalist approach. This could be winemakers championing uncommon varieties, practicing regenerative farming, exploring different aging techniques or producing wines that defy regional regulations or typificity.
Crooked Drinks also stock a range of vinyl records and books/magazines, selected to be consumed with a great bottle of wine for a truly analogue experience. All vinyl records are bought new and played on rotation at our shop on Smith St and then made available at close to cost price - and we love to share our eclectic and ever-shifting collection online or in-store.
In Winter 2025, Crooked Drinks will expanding to offer a small on-premise service at our wine shop. Just bottleshop prices, no stemware, no corkage, no glass options - grab a bottle and a seat, minimal pomp.
Some of what we are listening to and sipping with.
