One of the best ways to travel without leaving the city is through the palate; you can either eat through a variety of cuisines to satisfy your travel itch or explore the world through wines. Premium wine retailer Etc Wine Shops just opened their new themed store in Central; providing customers with an immersive experience of the French wine region of Burgundy.

The wines are divided on the shelves per appellation which include Aloxe-Corton, Chambolle-Musigny, Gevrey-Chambertin, Chassagne-Montrachet, Santenay, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, St. Aubin, Volnay, Pommard, Beaune, among others.
