Travel2003 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Not sure if you are a wine expert (what's the word..... cono sur?), but they have a fairly good selection at Tops in Central Plaza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danfred Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Sorry, I don't know the exact location of a proper wine shop in Khon Kaen, but I live in Roi Et (about 95km from Khon Kaen) and we have a local shop here (in the basement of the Roi Et Plaza) that has 100+ different wines to choose from... so I'm sure Khon Kaen has that or better someplace. Lotus, Big-C and Makro also carry wine... and if you're entertaining largely Thai guests (that likely have little experience with wine) the boxed/jugged wine at these superstores should go over fine and is also economic for a large party (most Thai people don't normally drink wine... but they won't pass a chance to drink it!!!). The supermarket in the basement of Central Plaza mall has the largest selection of wine I've seen in Khon Kaen.... that's your best bet if you're looking for wines that you are familiar with at home.

TerryLH Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 OTOP next to Oasis has domestic brands of wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annilicious Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Thank you all for your kind advise ka! I'm sure I can find a plenty of wine in khon lawn then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 To my opinion the new Tesco Lotus beats TOPs at Central with its selection of wines (one of the few points though). (new Tesco Lotus Extra north of the university on Mittraphap). Beware: on my visit yesterday they had some wrong price tags at the food racks. Use one of the price check points before going to the cashier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrytheyoung Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 If there is a MAKRO in Khon Khaen, you may get some wines there. For me Sakhorn Nakhon MAKRO is useful from this point of view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel2003 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 At least stay away from Big C. The selection is laughable, even for someone not too familiar with wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putu94 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Excellent wines you can get in Mahasarakham from Black Horse Winery Like Cabernet/Merlot/Pinot/Chardonnay/Gewurtztraminer and many others As far as I know a single bottle cost 300 Bt and a box of 12 bottle 3000 Bt Just make a call with Raveewan 089-4194961 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canopus1969 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Maybe worth a trip over the border to Laos (via Udon) as not too far + far cheaper there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putu94 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) Maybe worth a trip over the border to Laos (via Udon) as not too far + far cheaper there mmmmm 250 bath for a bottle !! , that is not expensive for a good wine. It will cost a LOT more to go to Laos, driving about 400 km, crossing the border, pay for a visa, + all the time and trouble and still you not if you have a good wine Edited December 21, 2011 by Putu94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamsom Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Agreed. Less than 300 Baht per bottle is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaanben Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 At least stay away from Big C. The selection is laughable, even for someone not too familiar with wine. Have you tried Peter Vella (Cabernet Sauvignon)? I have bought 3L boxes from BigC in Maha Sarakham. Price below 800 baht. Bottles for 279 in Tesco Lotus. I think that wine is much better than Mont Clair which is also cheap. I even prefer it to Jacob´s Creek which costs more than double. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
