Where can i buy bottles of wine in Montego Bay and what is the price range?

PurpleUnicorn · March 4, 2011

For my private reception, i have to pay extra for alcohol for 2 hours. it will actually be a lot cheaper if i bring my own bottles of wine to drink during dinner. The resort (Sunset Beach) allows me to do this as long as I pay their "corkage fee" (they will open and serve it during dinner).

Basically, i am hoping to get bottles of wine for around $10 each. Less would of course be better. I just want a decent bottle, doesn't have to be too fancy. For example, I live in California where Yellow Tail and Barefoot wines go for about $6. I would be totally happy with these brands or something similar. I was able to find out that Yellow Tail in Montego Bay is around $20! this scares me and i am hoping to gather more info on prices and types of wine i can buy before i go.

Does anyone have knowledge or experience with this?

thanks!

My fiance and I were in Jamaica earlier this year and stopped by Hi-Lo Market in Montego Bay, which is one of the largest supermarkets. They have tons of alcohol, including wines, rum and beer. Hi-Lo is very close to the Montego airport...about 10 minute drive.
