What: In Wines, same compound as Ivy, Worli

Why: If your friend's snooty red and white cabinet is giving your measly wine rack a complex, stock it up at In Wines. Here, you get to choose wine — all bottles available at winery (read throwaway) prices — to the sound of Italian music. Budget buys that don't compromise on taste — try Silverton red — ensure you save without sacrificing your palate. Also, look out for special discounts on purchase of cartons.

When: Prefect for a pre-drinking session before you hit a pricey bar.
