Alcohol delivery Old Quarter Hanoi: fast, genuine imports
1EURO operates two Hanoi shops (Kim Ma, Ba Dinh; The Manor Central Park, Hoang Mai) and delivers within Hanoi including the Old Quarter via WhatsApp +84 984 914 461. Order alcohol anytime—arrival is typically 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on traffic and time of day. You receive exactly what you see in the catalog: bottles arrive intact in branded packaging, stored cool before handover. Minimum order is low (verify on the price list), and payment is cash-on-delivery or online transfer. The Old Quarter's narrow streets and high pedestrian density mean delivery staff navigate by foot; provide a specific address (building number, alley name, shop name nearby). No surcharge applies for distance within central Hanoi, though evening and late-night slots fill faster. Avoid ordering during Tet holidays (Lunar New Year) or major festivals when delivery windows shrink.
How do I place an order for delivery to my Old Quarter hotel or apartment?
Message +84 984 914 461 on WhatsApp with your location, hotel or building name, and a photo or description of your entrance (alley, near café, street corner). List what you want (example: "German lager, Italian red, Belgian Trappist") or send screenshots from the price list. Staff confirm stock, delivery time and payment method—usually within 5 minutes during business hours. Payment is cash-on-delivery or bank transfer (staff send the account details). Delivery arrives in a sealed bag; open on the spot to check bottle count and condition. Keep the WhatsApp chat for reference and questions about storage or serving.

What types of beer are available for Old Quarter delivery?
Imported beer in Hanoi includes German pilsners, lagers and wheat beers; Belgian beer (Trappist, Abbey, Lambic styles); Czech, Dutch, Spanish and Asian varieties. Stock rotates monthly; popular German and Belgian lines stay in-house. Order German beer if you want crisp, clean lagers (Paulaner, Erdinger, Bitburger examples); Belgian abbey ales if seeking fruity, spiced, high-alcohol options. Czech imports suit those who prefer dry, balanced profiles. Most bottles are 330 ml or 500 ml; 750 ml formats exist but are rarer. Delivery to the Old Quarter includes all formats—staff advise on glassware and serving temperature by chat if asked.
Why choose wine delivery over buying at street shops in the Old Quarter?
Street vendors in the Old Quarter sell tourist-grade wine and spirits with unknown storage history, oxidized bottles and inflated margins. 1EURO wine is imported directly and stored temperature-controlled: bottles are sealed, labeled with vintage and region, and priced transparently. Italian wine arrives from established importers; French wine includes Bordeaux and Burgundy examples; Chilean wine offers value reds and whites. Sparkling wines are genuine Prosecco, Cava or Champagne, not carbonated blends. Street shops cannot match this traceability. Delivery to your room or apartment takes 1–2 hours; you avoid markup from middlemen and guarantee bottle integrity on arrival.
| Delivery scenario | What to order | Typical arrival | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Evening gathering, 4 friends | 4 × 330 ml craft beers or 1 bottle wine | 45 min–1 hour | Hotel room, casual meal |
| Dinner pairing, one course | 1 Italian or French red (750 ml) | 1–2 hours | Restaurant-style plating at home |
| Tet gift, expat colleague | Tet gift set beer/wine | 2 hours (pre-order advised) | Professional, packaged, festive |
| Late-night spirits | 1 bottle imported rum, whisky or vodka | 1–2 hours (confirm availability) | Nightcap, Old Quarter bar crawl prep |
| Next-day brunch | Belgian wheat beer or sparkling wine | Order evening before | Leisure, no rush |
What payment methods work for alcohol delivery to the Old Quarter?
Cash-on-delivery is standard: driver arrives, you inspect the bottle(s), hand over cash. Bank transfer is accepted if you message first; staff provide account details, delivery proceeds once payment clears (instant for same-bank transfers, 10 minutes otherwise). WhatsApp Pay or online wallets are not available yet. For expats without a local bank account, cash is fastest—withdraw from one of many ATMs near the Old Quarter beforehand. If ordering a Tet gift set or large order, transfer reduces cash handling. Always confirm payment method in the WhatsApp chat before the driver leaves the shop. No card surcharge applies; transfer fees are your responsibility if they exist.
How do I avoid mistakes when ordering alcohol for delivery?
Before ordering:
- Confirm your exact address (building number, alley name, nearest landmark). "Old Quarter" alone is too vague.
- Check the price list so you know total cost; no surprises on arrival.
- Specify bottle size (330 ml, 500 ml, 750 ml) if you have a preference; staff default to the most popular format.
- Ask about temperature: red wine is served at room temperature (18–20 °C); white, rosé and beer chilled. Delivery bottles arrive cool; drink whites and beer within 2 hours or chill in your room's fridge.
During delivery:
- Open the bag before the driver leaves. Check for cracks, leaks or loose caps.
- Count bottles against your order.
- Ask the driver or message staff with any questions about opening or pairing.
After delivery:
- Store beer and white wine upright in a fridge (3–8 °C). Red wine stays on its side in a cool, dark spot (closet, away from sunlight).
- Drink within the expiration date shown on the label (most imports last 2–3 years unopened).
- Never re-order the exact same bottle without checking stock; popular items sell out, especially on weekends.
Which spirits are best for Old Quarter delivery?
Imported spirits include German brandy, Italian amaro, Spanish sherry, rum, vodka and whisky. Order by region or type: amaro suits after-dinner sipping or cocktails; rum and whisky pair with ice and lime. German brandy is smooth neat or mixed. Sizes are usually 700 ml or 750 ml; 50 ml miniatures are rare. Spirits are heavier than beer or wine—delivery is still fast (1–2 hours) but confirm before ordering late at night. Staff can suggest food pairings (Italian amaro with espresso, sherry with tapas-style snacks) by chat. Most spirits are 35–50% ABV; mention if you need lower-alcohol options.
What is the delivery guarantee if my bottle arrives damaged?
1EURO offers a 30-day smile guarantee on all products. If a bottle arrives cracked, leaking or with a faulty seal, photograph the damage and message +84 984 914 461 within 24 hours. Staff will arrange a replacement delivery or refund (cash-on-delivery orders are refunded at the next convenient drop-off; bank transfers are reversed within 2–3 business days). Damage claims require photographic proof and the original invoice (keep your WhatsApp order confirmation). Opened bottles are not returnable. This guarantee covers manufacturing defects and delivery handling, not personal preference (e.g., "I didn't like the taste").
FAQ
Can I order alcohol delivery to my Old Quarter hotel room?
Yes. Message your hotel name, room number and a photo of the entrance. Delivery typically arrives in 45 minutes to 2 hours. Pay cash at handover or transfer funds in advance. Staff call or message when they arrive.
What is the minimum order for Old Quarter delivery?
No formal minimum is posted, but single-bottle orders are accepted. Larger orders (3+ bottles) ensure efficient routing; verify current minimums on the price list or ask via WhatsApp.
Do you deliver to restaurants or bars in the Old Quarter if I want to serve my own bottles?
Yes, if the venue permits outside alcohol. Confirm with the restaurant or bar first (many have house-wine-only policies). Order to a specific address and time. Staff do not install bottles on tables; you handle service.
How cold are bottles when they arrive?
Beer and white wine arrive chilled (around 10–12 °C) and stay cool for 1–2 hours if kept in a bag. Red wine arrives at room temperature. Refrigerate immediately upon delivery for longer freshness. For a hot evening, request ice packs in the WhatsApp message if available.
Can I return or exchange a bottle if I change my mind?
No refund for unopened, undamaged bottles bought "just in case" or a change of taste. The 30-day guarantee covers only manufacturing defects and delivery damage. Keep your order message and decision clear before confirming to avoid waste.
Are prices higher for Old Quarter delivery than walking into a shop?
No markup is applied for delivery distance within Hanoi. Prices match the price list. Time of order (late night, holidays) may affect availability but not cost.
What brands of imported beer and wine are in stock for regular Old Quarter orders?
Stock includes German (Paulaner, Erdinger, Bitburger), Belgian (Rochefort, Chimay, Orval), Czech, Spanish and Asian craft lines. French, Italian and Chilean wines rotate monthly. Message to ask if a specific brand is available today before ordering.
How do I know a bottle is genuine and not a fake?
1EURO sources from official distributors and importers, not street wholesalers. Every bottle is sealed and labeled with producer details and expiration dates. Delivery photos show bottle labels; inspect labels and caps on arrival. Fakes are extremely rare in Hanoi but never come from 1EURO's suppliers.
