Imported Wine Supermarket Hanoi: 1EURO's Curated Selection
1EURO operates as an imported wine supermarket in Hanoi with two physical stores (Kim Ma, Ba Dinh and The Manor Central Park, Hoang Mai) holding roughly 260 genuine bottles from France, Italy, Chile, Spain and Asia. Unlike corner shops, every wine here is verified imported and stored at controlled temperature. Expats and travelers order via WhatsApp (+84 984 914 461) for delivery inside Hanoi, or shop in-person same day. The stock spans dry reds, whites, rosés, sparkling, and sweet styles—each with tasting notes and food pairing guidance from staff trained in grape varieties, regions, and Vietnamese cuisine compatibility. Delivery inside Hanoi takes 2–5 working days after order. No hidden fees; prices shown on the price list before checkout. 💬 Order on WhatsApp +84 984 914 461 | 📋 See the price list | 📍 Visit a 1EURO store
Why Choose an Imported Wine Specialist Over Local Convenience Shops?
Local convenience stores in Hanoi typically stock 10–15 wine brands in poor storage conditions and unreliable provenance. 1EURO curates 260+ bottles with verified origin, temperature control, and staff expertise in region, harvest, and tasting profiles. You avoid counterfeit products, oxidation from improper handling, and guesswork on pairing with Vietnamese food.
A trained counter staff member at 1EURO can match a wine to your meal (phở, grilled fish, spring rolls) and tell you why. Convenience-store staff usually cannot. This reduces buyer's remorse and ensures a bottle actually complements your table.
How Do I Know Which Wine Fits My Meal?
Start with the dish's weight and flavors: light soups (phở gà) pair with unoaked white or light red; grilled fish needs crisp white or dry sparkling; rich pork or beef demands fuller reds. Italian wine often works with Vietnamese herb-forward dishes; French wine suits heavier proteins.
Ask the 1EURO staff to walk you through ABV (alcohol by volume), tannin level, and acidity. A 12% dry white feels lighter than a 14.5% full-bodied red. Sparkling wines (Prosecco, Cava) refresh the palate between courses and work with most Vietnamese starters.
Visit our counter or message WhatsApp: staff replies within 2 hours on weekday mornings.
What Storage and Serving Temperatures Should I Check Before Ordering?
When you order, ask whether the bottle is stored upright in cool darkness (ideal for whites, sparkling, rosés) or on its side (for cork-sealed reds over 3 years old). Improper storage damages wine in 2–6 weeks.
Before serving, store white and sparkling wines in a fridge (8–12°C) for 4–6 hours; reds drink best at 16–18°C, so remove from fridge 30 minutes before the meal. Never store wine above 25°C or in direct sunlight; Hanoi heat and humidity demand fridge storage year-round for imported bottles.
1EURO staff will note storage condition in your order notes. If a bottle arrives warm or has a leaking cork, our 30-day smile guarantee applies.
Regional Comparison: France, Italy, Chile & Spain—Who Each Is For

| Spain | Adventure seekers, Rioja enthusiasts | Earthy, medium-bodied, food-matched | Tapas, ham, roasted vegetables, seafood |

What to Check Before Placing Your Order: A Shopper's Checklist
Before you order:
- Clarify your meal: What protein, sauce, spice level? Staff recommends wine in 2–3 minutes via WhatsApp.
- Confirm vintage year: Older doesn't always mean better; reds from hot years (2015, 2018) often age better than cool years (2013). Ask the staff.
- Ask about stock: 1EURO holds 260 bottles but popular Proseccos and Chilean reds can sell out in 4–6 weeks during expat dinner season (Oct–Mar). Confirm availability before your delivery date.
- Request tasting notes on the label: 1EURO attaches suggested food pairings and flavor profile cards to every bottle. Use these to verify the wine matches your expectation.
- Check the cork condition photo: On WhatsApp, request a photo of the cork and label before shipment. Leaking or crumbly corks signal storage failure.
- Verify delivery address inside Hanoi: Free delivery applies to city proper; some outer districts may incur a small fee. Confirm via WhatsApp.
- Review the 30-day guarantee: If the wine tastes off or differs from the description, contact us within 30 days. Staff will troubleshoot or arrange replacement.
What to avoid:
- Do not order wines shipped through August–September heat without insulated packaging. Ask for ice packs or heat-reflective wrap.
- Avoid buying more than 3–4 bottles per order if delivery timing is tight (under 3 days); slow delivery in Hanoi's heat can warm wine in transit.
- Do not assume a French wine is "better" than Chilean or Italian. Quality depends on the producer and vintage, not origin alone. Trust the staff recommendation over perceived prestige.
How Does Ordering and Delivery Work in Hanoi?

For walk-in shopping: Kim Ma store (Ba Dinh) opens 10:00–21:00 daily; The Manor Central Park (Hoang Mai) opens 10:00–20:00 daily. Staff will guide you through the selection and let you compare bottles side-by-side.
Why Sparkling Wine Deserves Its Own Moment
Sparkling wines (Prosecco from Italy, Cava from Spain, Champagne from France) are not just for celebrations—they refresh the palate between courses and work with most Vietnamese appetizers and light seafood. Lower alcohol (11–12.5% vs. 13–15% for still wine) makes them ideal for long meals or daytime gatherings.
Sparkling wine collection at 1EURO includes dry and off-dry styles; staff pairs Prosecco with spring rolls and Cava with shrimp ceviche. A bottle opens easily, chills fast, and feels celebratory without the formality of Champagne.

FAQ
Can I return a wine if I don't like the taste?
Yes, within 30 days. Contact us via WhatsApp with a photo of the bottle and a description of the issue. We troubleshoot storage, serving temperature, or food pairing—or arrange replacement if the wine is faulty.
Do you offer wine by the glass or only full bottles?
Only full bottles. At 1EURO we stock bottles; for by-the-glass service, visit restaurants or wine bars in Hanoi. However, you can order a mixed case of 6 bottles (different styles) to sample.
What is the shelf life of an opened bottle of wine?
Red wine stays fresh 3–5 days (keep cork in fridge); white/sparkling, 1–3 days. Finish within this window. 1EURO staff can suggest smaller bottles (375 mL) if you drink alone.
How far outside central Hanoi do you deliver?
Free delivery within Hanoi city limits (Ba Dinh, Hoang Mai, Cau Giay, Thanh Xuan, Dong Da, Hai Ba Trung). Outer districts (Bac Tu Liem, Nam Tu Liem) incur a small fee. Confirm via WhatsApp.
I'm new to wine—should I start with French, Italian, or Chilean?
Start with Italian wine or Chilean wine. Both are food-friendly, approachable, and widely available. Ask staff for a Chianti (Italy, ~12.5% ABV, fresh) or a Carmenère (Chile, ~13.5% ABV, bold fruit). Compare the two; you'll learn your preference.
Do you stock organic or biodynamic wine?
Limited stock; availability varies by season. WhatsApp staff to ask what's in-store this month. Most 1EURO wines are conventional (sulfite-preserved for longevity); organic bottles tend to age less predictably in Hanoi heat.
