About The House of Glunz
Wine and spirits sales are the core offering at this family-owned shop. The House of Glunz carries everyday wines along with allocated and rare wines and spirits from its extensive cellar. Its selection includes bourbon whiskey, blended malt Scotch whisky, and rosé, with featured bottles available for purchase. The shop traces its history to 1888, when Louis Glunz Sr. established the family business in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood. Generations of relationships with buyers, sellers, and producers support its wine and spirits collections. The House of Glunz remains owned by the Glunz family and accommodates requests ranging from casual bottles to hard-to-find selections. It is located on North Wells Street in Chicago.
