WS23 caters to a similar clientele as Wineworld but on a smaller scale. This retailer is a class act. WS23 goes the extra mile by sorting its products by country of origin and clearly states the age of its liquors. They charge LKR 250 for the 1st bottle that you get delivered and LKR 50 per bottle from the 2nd bottle onward. By no means is it as extensive as Wineworld and it is relatively pricier too. However, there are a few celebrated items – including an Appleton Estate 21-year-old rum – which cannot be found anywhere else.
