Total Wine is definitely a beautiful, well stocked, well varied wine/liquor store. At first glance it blows BevMo! out of the water, but I am still a devoted patron of BevMo! (see previous review).
Why you ask?
Well there are a few reasons...
1. The place is BEYOND crowded on the weekend with the #1 patron being over the age of 60. Now, there's nothing wrong with that, it just sort of feels like I'm in an alternate universe seeing gramps stocking up on Grey Goose. Maybe it's just me?
2. No case discount. We asked the manager if they offered a case discount and he said their prices are already every day low. No problem, I get it. But....BevMo!, right down the street, matches all of their prices AND offers the case discount.
Check out both on a Saturday and choose for yourself.
Total Wine deserves a shout out for an excellent wine tasting area - and all for a penny! You can even walk around with your wine and leave your glass at the door. Now that's my idea of shopping! I even saw tequila tastings throughout the store - also for a penny! So, for that, I am bumping them up from a 3.5 to a 4.
