Vila Viniteca

"A major Spanish wine distributor, Vila Viniteca opened in 1932 and is now a third generation family-run business. For a really good selection of both local and international wines, head to their shop on Agullers. And, FYI, if you're looking to pick up food as well, Vila Viniteca's gourmet grocery store, which stocks small bites, cheeses, and cooked meats, is conveniently located next door. (Also to note: Vilia Vinetca has another, smaller wine outpost in the shopping mall, L'illa Diagonal.)"

"Primarily a wine store with one of the best gourmet shops in the city. There are a few tables where you can sample the best of Catalunya and Spain, from Joselito jamón ibérico de bellota to one of the city’s top cheese boards." - Suzy Taher

"Vila Viniteca is split in two. First, there's one of the most cavernous wine shops you'll ever see, with 8,000 bottles spread among shelves, display chests, boxes, and a mezzanine. Next door, there's a delicatessen that borders on decadent, whose beautifully hung hams, elegantly displayed cheeses, and artisan canned goods will have you remortgaging your house. There’s also a small bar area with a trio of tables and a sommelier eager to tempt you into trying a bottle." - Gemma Askham
