Swieqi is a quiet residential town a few minutes inland from the bars and hotels of St Julian's, and it is where Spades Wines & Spirits keeps its second shop. It sits on Triq il-Qasam and gives people in the north of the island a local place to pick up wine, spirits and party supplies without driving to the company's main warehouse at Mriehel.
The shop belongs to a wine and spirits importer and distributor that has traded since 2010. On VisitMalta.co.uk it is listed under wine merchants in Malta, next to the Mriehel branch.
Why shop in Swieqi
For UK holidaymakers staying around St Julian's, Pembroke or Sliema, a neighbourhood shop is handy for a bottle of local or imported wine, mixers for the apartment balcony or a gift to take to a dinner host. Residents use it for regular top-ups and for organising drinks for birthdays and get-togethers.
Because the website sets out the Swieqi shop as a separate store location with its own telephone line, it is worth asking what is on the shelves before making a special journey. The full online catalogue lives on the company's website, and online orders can be sent out with a next-day delivery option.
Swieqi is also a convenient stop on the way between the north-east resorts and the centre of the island. Guests who have hired a car, for example from Aquarius Rent A Car, can fit a shop visit in around sightseeing without a long detour. Anyone planning where to base themselves can start with our where to stay in Malta page.
The range behind the counter
The group's catalogue is broad. Spirits include whisky, gin, rum, vodka, tequila, brandy, vermouth and liqueurs, and the wine list covers red, white, rosé, sweet and sparkling bottles and champagne.

Mixers, syrups, beers, ciders, soft drinks and water sit alongside cigars, olive oil, sauces, chocolate and snacks. Gift packs, gift bags and wine hampers are available for presents, and Riedel and Lehmann glassware and Coravin tools are sold for people who take wine seriously.
Special editions and limited releases from well-known whisky houses appear on the site from time to time, as do larger bottle sizes and boxed gift sets. New arrivals are listed regularly, so check the online catalogue to see what has come in and what is still available.
