The shop lists over 400 wines from France, Italy, the US, South Africa, Spain, Australia, Chile and New Zealand.

It also sells spirits including a 40-year-old single malt, and visitors can even pick up a $125K Dom Perignon guitar case.

There are several options for buying. You can pre-order through the online store and collect your bottles in the store before you fly out of Dubai.

Or if you are making a return journey back into Dubai you can choose your wines ahead of time and pick them up after your flight.
