Planet Wine stocks nearly 2000 unique labels from across the globe within the walls and to the rafters of our cozy Del Ray shop. Whether it's an inexpensive weeknight wine, an obscure gem from an unexpected region, the newest cult on the rise or a blue chip gift fit for the boss, we're confident we've got the right bottle for you.

Our staff is well versed on both the subject and the inventory and are only too happy to guide you through the myriad selections.

Each month, Planet Wine also offers both a seasonal Petite Pack and a Planet Pack, two interesting and affordable ways of discovering a few new wines from around the world, thoughtfully bundled together on a theme. As the name suggests, the Petite Pack is a small sampling of two bottles, while the Planet Pack will net you six. Carefully selected for style, quality, diversity and value, each merit consideration for pure drinking enjoyment.
