Wine shops in Paris and Berlin?

My heartless spouse and progeny are off to Paris and Berlin this summer. (I love my dog too much to leave her behind.) They have agreed to pick up some bottles for me (and treats for notre chien) while they are galavanting around Europe. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
 
In Berlin, the classic is Wein und Glas, with a full online list of wines, to make advance prep easy.


The 'natural' star is Viniculture. Lots of good names and not too esoteric on the natural front. The online list typically doesn't reflect the bottles available in the store, but you can see the list of winemakers they carry.


I also really like Heimat Wein for a more old-fashioned owner/proprietor feel with a mix of new and old names. But the website is unhelpful, it's less centrally-located, and the owner Nico may not speak much English and is not always there. But he's still my favorite!

 
Thank you!

You can also just order 12 (or 6) bottles from any of the excellent online retailers. They will ship free to the hotel/airbnb in a certified shipper that can just be checked in at the airport.

good selections:

these have some of the broadest selections of interesting wines. if you have more narrow interests there are many others depending on what you want. Wineries also ship themselves if you have a favorite.
