Wine stores in Venice.

Can anyone recommend a place to buy wine/spirits which is near st. Marks square.  This is for drinking in a hotel room, or to take with us on cruise.

Many places, in Venice, sell wine (not just wine shops).  Normally, we just stop at whatever looks interesting as we walk around Venice.  But if I were looking for a really decent wine, I would go to Millevini Enoteca,  This is a little hike from the St Marks Square area, since it is located near the Rialto Bridge.  On the other hand, strolling the narrow streets between St Marks and the Rialto area is so much fun :).  If you do stop at Millevini Enoteca, say Buongiorno to Lorenzo.  He is not only the friendly owner, but arguably one of the top experts on the wines of the region (and everywhere else).
