Du Vin Wine & Spirits

Press & Recognition

When Hollywood needs the right bottle on short notice, it calls Du Vin. Family-owned and tucked behind a secret garden in West Hollywood since 1979, the shop has spent four decades as the go-to for studio assistants, collectors, and anyone who needs a standout Bordeaux, Burgundy, or Champagne delivered with a handwritten note. LA Magazine named it "Best Emergency Wine Delivery" — and the regulars have known it far longer.

Best Emergency Wine Delivery

"This legendary, old-world wine shop, around since 1979, has saved Tinseltown assistants over and over again."

In naming Du Vin its Best Emergency Wine Delivery, Los Angeles Magazine put it best:

"Boss’s friend just had their TV show renewed? Call Du Vin to find the perfect bottle and send it over with a classy handwritten note, ASAP. Family-owned Du Vin has on-trend wines, gift-wrapping, and delivery services, and near-peerless wine-industry knowledge."

Summer to Fall: 3 Wines To Drink as the Seasons Change With Du Vin Wine & Spirits

A destination in every sense: the West Hollywood Design District feature noted that Du Vin draws customers from across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, and has anchored the neighborhood for nearly 40 years — sought out for the unique and hard-to-find European wines that fill its shelves.

At its center is founder and proprietor René Averseng, whose French roots run through the shop’s entire sensibility.

Part of the draw is the setting itself — a brick driveway, an enclosed garden with a fountain, lace curtains, and a quiet old-world atmosphere that feels more like a corner of Europe than a Los Angeles storefront.

Inside, the selection spans Champagne, Bordeaux, Italy, Spain, and California.
