The Wine & Cheese Shop at Capitol Market features a wide selection of wine, beer, gift items, accessories, and glassware. We are located at the far end of Hall 2 in the Market. Our knowledgeable staff will provide you with personal service and is committed to taking the mystery out of purchasing wine.

Wine

The Wine Shop has a wide assortment of fine wines from all over the world. Our prices are competitive and range from about $5 to $350 a bottle, satisfying anyone's taste or wallet. One of our most popular features is the "$10.99 and Under" rack with a constantly changing array of white and red bargains. Our knowledgeable staff can suggest the perfect bottle for an intimate occasion, that special gift, or selections for your upcoming party. We can also do special orders if you don't see what you like.

Our goal is to appeal to the novice wine drinker as well as the serious oenophile. Getting your name is the first step to participating on our "Frequent Buyer Program". The program works this way--you must purchase $100 in wine in one month's time. Not all at once-a bottle or two at a time is fine. After that, the rest is easy! 10% of anything over that $100 goes toward a purchase the next month. For example, if you were to spend $150 this month, you would have $15 to put towards a purchase next month. You may use your discount for up to 50% of your purchase price. Your discount may be used all at once, a few dollars at a time, or rolled over from month to month. You don't have to keep track of a thing, we'll do all the work for you.

The other advantage of sharing your name comes in handy when you can't quite remember the name of the bottle of wine, but you know the label. All of your past purchases are stored in our database for such occasions. Just let us know if you need us to check.

Our active Wine Club meets once or twice a month where members gather and are introduced to new wines or revisit some old favorites. Local experts or guest speakers lead us through the world of wine at a cost between $5 and $12 per person. If you are interested in participating in our tastings you must join the Wine Club at an annual membership fee of $10 per person. Please refer to the The Capitol Market Events Calendar for dates and times.

Beer

The Wine Shop also carries a selection of fine domestic and imported beers. What makes us unique is our Mix and Match Six Pack Program. Buy any six beers and get a 10% discount. This way you have an opportunity to try a multitude of different styles of beer without having to purchase the whole six pack.

Cheese

A large selection of fine imported and domestic cheeses are available. It is our goal to provide the greatest selection and high quality cheeses to Charleston area residents, as well as our visitors. Our knowledgeable staff is ready to assist you in buying the perfect cheese for any occasion, whether it's a snack or a large party.

If you are unfamiliar with a certain style of cheese but have always been curious, stop in and we will be happy to offer you a sample. The world is full of many differing styles of cheese and we want to be able to bring them to you.

We are gradually bringing in more products including olives, dried/smoked sausages, and specialty imported meats. We will also offer many cheese-related accessories including knives, slicers, cheese boards, cookbooks, etc.

The Cheese Shop is owned and operated by the Wine Shop @ Capitol Market. We opened The Cheese Shop in May of 2000 when we realized what a perfect match the two stores are. Wine and cheese complement each other very well. Join us for our wine tastings when we always try new cheese in addition to the wines.
