JAK's Beer Wine Spirits is a fourth generation family business and one of the friendliest, most knowledgeable, and welcoming liquor stores. It is a premiere boutique purveyor of award-winning, exclusive, and regional’s finest wines, beers, and spirits. The store offers a wide selection of domestic and import beer, wine, and spirits, including a very good selection of wine, tequila, and single malt, plus much more. It is a very nice store, very easy to find with lots of parking, and easy to get what you went in for. The team is ready to help find the perfect pairing for any occasion. The staff are great, incredibly knowledgeable, and helpful, going out of their way to answer questions or make recommendations. They are friendly and helpful even near closing time and can secure exclusive products, even bringing things into stock if possible. The staff always offer the best suggestion with genuine care and high standards, whether for entertaining guests, finding pairings for dinner, or specialty gifts.
Rebrand for Co-op but still head and shoulders above the garbage stocked by BCLDB who are on strike once again. Do yourself a favor when in Penticton and shop here and avoid the ridiculous government store who still pushes CIC garbage (Coppermoon et al) in boxes as you walk into the store in the gateway to the South Okanagan.

Knowledgeable friendly staff, they even work at the wineries so they know how to recommend local wine.
