No, but the Carrefour Express on Las Ramblas has a large selection, and some are very inexpensive (like 1 euro). Didn't know what we were choosing, but I liked it.

Have been to Barcelona many times and there are 2 great wine shops I visit each time:

 

Torres, 25 Nou de la Ramba, Barcelona 08001

www.vinosencasa.com

They also sell liquor and have some of the best prices and selection of Spanish brandies, especially those that don't make it to the US. Best prices on Albarinos, too.

 

Vila Vinitecha, Agullers 7, , Barcelona 08003

www.vilaviniteca.es

Incredible selection of wines, including many older vintages.

 

BTW, the previous post on Carrefour is a good one. For less than 1 Euro you can get an eminently drinkable Spanish red that goes great with the baguette sandwiches (bocadillos) that you get from Bocatta, Fresh & Co., or Pans & Co.

Let me just second those recommendations. Vila Vinitecha is heaven if you are "into" Spanish wines.

Are these located near Playa Catalunya/ Las Ramblas area? How is the liquor store in the department store in the Cat. square?
