Gala’s Premium Off-Sales Experience – Elevating Convenience with Class

Distill is Gala Retail’s dedicated alcoholic beverages concept — a thoughtfully curated off-licence offering designed to bring the best in wine, beer, and spirits to Gala customers. As part of Gala’s “modern, fresh, community retailing” vision, Distill stands out as a key concept in-store. 

A Curated Collection

• Wines & Spirits: From fine new-world vintages to old-world classics, Distill brings together an expertly selected range of wines and premium spirits. 

• Beers & Refreshers: Whether customers are looking for craft beers, lagers, or other alcoholic beverages, Distill offers a broad spectrum to suit different tastes. 

• Limited Editions: True to Gala’s innovative spirit, Distill includes exclusive, limited-edition releases — giving customers access to rare, hard-to-find bottles and special drops. 

Expert Guidance & Discovery

Distill isn’t just about the product — it’s about the experience and building the customer’s confidence:

• Recommendations & Pairing: Whether you’re planning a dinner, hosting friends, or just relaxing at home, Distill provides expert pairing suggestions that elevate the occasion. 

• Tasting & Learning: Wine lovers can sample new products, explore different flavour profiles, and refine their palate. It’s a space to discover — not just buy. 

Why Distill Matters to Gala & Customers

1. Drives Footfall & Basket Value
   As highlighted by Gala retailers, Distill brings focus to the off-licence category. One store owner said the “image is so strong and vibrant, it draws customers into my off licence… the layout is perfect.” 

2. Differentiation & Local Identity
   By pairing a national convenience brand with a premium off-sales concept, Gala bridges community retail and upscale drink experiences — offering something that feels both local and special. 

3. Supporting Gala’s Innovation Strategy
   Distill is part of Gala’s wider “in-store concepts” approach (alongside Baker’s Corner, Coffee Junction, Galato, etc.). These concepts allow Gala to continuously innovate, improve margins, and create reasons for customers to visit. forecourtretailer.com+1
