I recently found out that they were selling these half bottles at the Sports Shop in the Club. Although it is called the Sports Shop, they have always sold other things including wine there. I remember in the good old days, there was a good selection of half bottles of very respectable wines at the wine shop in the Police Officers' Club; now that Club has been demolished in the various construction works of the harbour front.
There are only two varieties on sale now, and I don't expect that they will have more varieties in the foreseeable future. At present the two varieties are a Bordeaux and a Barbera d'Alba. They seem pleasant enough for solo drinking, but of course if they can get better bottles it would be nice. Then again, maybe the other place selling wines in the Club, the Pavillion will take up the half bottle idea.
