Goa, especially North Goa, is known for its beaches, parties, and vibrant nightlife — but if you’re a liquor enthusiast looking to bring home the perfect bottle, there’s a hidden gem that offers something rare in India: the chance to taste select alcohol before you buy it.
Nestled in the lively Vagator Junction in North Goa, Good Luck Wines is not your average wine shop. This well-stocked and locally loved liquor store offers everything from popular Indian and international labels to unique, hard-to-find spirits, and even lets you sample some before committing to a purchase. Whether you’re after a bold whiskey, an offbeat chilli vodka, or just something new to sip on back home, this store is a must-visit on your next Goan getaway.
Good Luck Wines is strategically located at Vagator Junction, right next to the petrol pump, making it incredibly easy to spot whether you're on a scooter or in a cab. The store sits in the Vagator Junction building in Anjuna, North Goa — a hotspot known for its vibrant nightlife, flea markets, and backpacker-friendly vibe.
According to Rohit, the owner of Good Luck Wines, the shop offers a “try before you buy” experience — something you won’t commonly find at liquor stores in India.
“I have an option to try before you buy, but not for all brands, only on select ones,” he says.
This allows customers to sample certain spirits, liqueurs, or flavoured vodkas before committing to a bottle — a great feature, especially if you're looking to buy something unconventional.
Apart from classic Indian and international spirits like Old Monk, Absolut, or Glenfiddich, Good Luck Wines also stocks quirky, experimental alcohols you’re unlikely to find elsewhere.

One of the standout bottles here is a chilli-flavoured vodka — yes, vodka infused with mirchi (chilli). Spicy, bold, and not for the faint-hearted, it's a popular curiosity but among travellers looking for something different to take home.
You’ll also find a range of flavoured gins, liqueurs, and local Goan brews, including:
Whether you're stocking up for a beach party, picking up souvenirs, or just curious about India’s growing craft alcohol scene, Good Luck Wines offers an experience beyond the shelf. With unique tastings, spicy vodkas, and a wide range of well-priced options, this is not just another wine shop — it’s a flavour adventure.
Goa has always had a reputation for affordable booze, but Good Luck Wines takes it a step further by combining variety, value, and a touch of curiosity. From mirchi-infused vodka to exclusive craft gins, this wine shop at Vagator Junction is a must-visit for anyone looking to explore India’s growing world of spirits. So the next time you’re headed to Anjuna or Vagator — don’t forget to stop by, sip something new, and maybe leave with a bottle or two you never knew you needed.
Pro tip: If you're flying out of Goa, check your baggage allowance, liquor limits for domestic flights are usually 5 litres per adult.
