Where to Buy Wine Online and Have it Delivered to Your Doorstep in Penang?

August 8, 2020

With the first positive case of Covid-19 reported in Penang yesterday (7-August 2020), it marks the end of Penang’s status as a green zone after a lengthy 3 months. This puts Penangites back on high alert amidst the tightening of Covid-19 SOPs by the authorities.

While there is no directive to stay at home yet, many are already taking the necessary precautions to minimize risk of exposure. Furthermore, with the harsher penalties for drunk driving offense and the enforcement of mandatory mask-wearing in crowded places, our happy hour days are numbered.

It is not only safer but also more economical to drink at home. Here are your options to buy wine online and having it delivered to your doorstep.

1. Jaya Grocer Online

My favorite place to shop for wine online and offline. Jaya Grocer started offering online grocery shopping in Penang during the MCO period. They offer a wide variety of new and old world wines from as low as RM40+. Champagne, Prosecco, Cava and other sparkling wines are also also available to order.

So if you would like to party at home, you know where to look for your booze! It is wise to plan your delivery ahead, as they have limited slots and it may take up to a week for your wines to arrive.

2. Sunshine Square Online

Sunshine Square was one of the first supermarkets selling wine in Penang as far as I can recall. They have started selling wine online for quite some time now. They have a wide variety of wines from all over the world, starting from as low as RM30+.

This is the place to look if you are sourcing for everyday drinking wines which are not over the top price range. I haven’t ordered from them before but my guess would be there is also limited delivery slots available.

3. Happy Fresh

HappyFresh is Asia’s #1 online grocery delivery service covering main Southeast Asian Cities. HappyFresh is servicing major grocery stores in Penang, namely Tesco, Mercato, Cold Storage, AEON and Giant depending on your area.

All of them sell wine online and as with other platforms, you have to secure your slots early to ensure prompt delivery.
