To buy alcohol for home consumption, there is only one drinks shop in Doha, and that is not signposted but can be found few streets off the Salwa Road. You need to ask around!
To shop at the QDC (Qatar Distribution Company) shop, you will need a liquor licence. To get the liquor licence you will need to have a Residence Permit, letter from your employer with your salary details. When you have this documentation you will need to go to QDC and pay a deposit (refundable) for your drinks permit.
You are allowed to purchase 10% of your salary per month on alcohol. The shop is shut during Ramadan, and on Fridays too.
The selection I believe is pretty good. I only drink lager (and not much at that) and purchase cheap wine for risotto. However friends and colleagues tell me the wine selection etc is very good.
