88 S Main St, Unionville“Had a wonderful time taste testing wines and eating a delicious charcuterie board! What a different and fun way to spend ladies night with my girlfriends! Beth was an absolute delight as she informed us about all the different wines we were tasting! I would highly recommend booking an event at Wine, Etc.!”
“Fan favorite spot with knowledgeable staff. Occasional big box discounts like cases of Josh with rebates, etc. but also good for reasonable trying new bottles such as Cherry Pie Pinot. For $20 out the door you can have something nice you never knew about! Honestly just can be a real pain getting in and out of the parking lot, sometimes dangerous off of route 44.”

70 E Main St, Avon“What a great selection of wine and a tremendous value! We loved each of the bottles we've tried so far (we ordered the mix of 15). We're not wine connoisseurs but I'd definitely recommend.”
“My new favorite go to liquor store. They have literally everything I want and then some. And omg, you have to check out their cocktail bag deal things. So cool. Guess it was some trend going around or something but whatever, Megan the girl who works there started the idea at this location and I think it's genius. They definitely had a lot I want to eventually try”
“Owner is very cool and will remember your particular beverage of choice so if you frequently go there it'll always be in stock, also bought an expired bottle of Bacardi Coquito and he gladly let me exchange it for something else with no argument or questions. I recommend this place 100%”
“While there are lots of places we can go, we choose The Booze Box every time because they do things the way they should be done. They make you feel like you are a part of the family so it goes beyond just having a variety of great products at a reasonable price. Thanks to the new owners and the entire crew for making it happen day in and day out. Appreciate you and The Booze Box ???”
“Absolutely 100% recommend this spot to any craft beer drinker! The walk in fridge is loaded with local beers from CT and surrounding states. The owner is super helpful and goes out of his way to make sure you have what you’re looking for. Check these guys out if you live in the area!”
“Absolutely the best wine store I have been to! The staff is always super friendly and helpful and they often have wine specials where you can get a nice bottle of wine at a discounted price. Love this place!”
“Best prices around!!! Mike does a great job of keeping what we normally buy in stock as well as new beverages for us to try. He has a wide variety of local beers in stock too. Such a nice guy!!!”
“Very happy that they carry Romanian wine but the salesperson didn't know so I had to search by myself. Good European beer selection also! Definitely coming back! Very casual ambiance and service was pleasant.”
“Nice liquor store very friendly staff nice well lit establishment. Huge selection of whisky’s and Vodka’s. Great collections of wines both popular and new! Right but major highways who can complain lol follow @bryanalfredmusic on IG”
“Sam and his wife are very pleasant. They always has everything stocked, and organized. Joanne is also wonderful. If I have to go to a package store, Big Saver is my#1 choice.”

332 W Main St, Avon“Wine wine wine - calling all wine lovers there's something here for ANYONES budget! All good and have come here dozens of times for gifts, wine clubs, and even notice they hold educational classes here and will order you specific items upon request. Special (more expensive) wines upstairs for more special occasions!”
“Loads of great variety to pick from here, especially in the wines section. Very fair prices. The staff seems a bit withdrawn, if not downright unfriendly. Since customers keep the business open, I wonder what that's all about? There is a large bottle and can recycling area too, which is a benefit.”
“Located across from Cake Gypsy, Uncork and Unwind has small square footage but huge impact. They have a lot, mostly wines, but by all sorts of genres. The wines in the window by color are beautiful. They also have cute gift sets for sale, like a nip of Jim Bean to go with a root beer. There is something everywhere you look, so when you get tired of looking at alcohol there's drink recipes by the craft beer!The cashier was friendly, and ready to help me find what I was looking for. When I didn't know what that was, she let me look in peace. It is a small floor space though, so watch your purses to make sure nothing gets knocked over!”

258 Main St, Farmington“They staff was extremely friendly. They have a good inventory of spirits. There is also a cigar section, along with light fare such as crackers, chips, cheeses, and other selections.”
“Good vibe for a package store and not shady, seedy, or anything! Places like this really make me want to support local more than places like total wine, etc solid selection of wine and spirits (all good stuff)”
10AM - 10PM
1015 East St, New Britain“Manny (the owner) is the bomb. I go out of my way, to continue shopping here, although I moved across town... The store is clean and well-stocked. If there is something he doesn't keep in stock, he is always more than happy to order it. I had family visiting from out of town, who were looking for a specific type of rum. We couldn't find locally, Manny had it here the next day. Other package stores just told me I was out of luck... I would give him 6 stars if I could.”
“This is a no frills package store but it's conveniently located for locals using this plaza. It pretty much has everything you'd need in terms of spirits. Large cooler of domestic, imported and microbrew beers, hard liquors, and bottled wines. Every package store has something others don't and this one has its share of hidden gems which puts it on my go to list for certain liqueurs or brands. The best thing about Marandino Spirits is its good natured permittee, Vipin. If something you buy regularly is out of stock or not being delivered, he'll call the distributor or commissioner until he gets it back in on a regular basis.”

28 b Fenn Rd, Newington“Vanesh = beer-geek, legend! Knows all the best local, regional & national craft IPAs & other genres, too. This guy is super humble and a great advocate for enhancing your adult-beverage enjoyment on any given night... just ask him when you stop in. He won't just say 'try this or try that.' He'll ask you your palette likes & dislikes and your taste profile curiosities, and then suggest options. Try this not only for his beer selection, but count on him for the same expertise in spirits & wine as well. Great job! You'll see us again soon. I highly recommend this place for the discerning beer-geek, spirits & wine crowd; it's right near CCSU.”

“Excellent selection of mid-priced domestic and European wines. Go there for Pinot Noir from Oregon, Spanish Riojas, Cotes du Rhone from hard to get producers and are affordable and better quality.”
“Not only did the owner have wonderful wine recommendations when I went into the store, I had an incident where I lost my wallet shortly after leaving and the staff went above and beyond to try to review security footage for me. I can’t recommend this store or this staff enough!”
“Always had great service here. Very friendly and always helpful to both myself and my sister. For the most part has a really good selection, runs out of things occasionally as expected like anywhere else. One of the few places to actually carry these seltzers my sister had found called press. Definitely recommend if you like selzters but don't like the super sweet stuff. I also love that they have a big selection of the different moonshines, the big jars and even in the nippers.”
“Best selection of craft beers and bourbon in the area. Owner should upload more pictures about their craft beers selection, so the people who like craft beer knows about this place. I highly recommend.”
“Not only is there a terrific selection of wine and spirits, but the service is fantastic! We had some complications with a delivery on Christmas eve that was handled very professionally and was successfully resolved with no hassle. I would highly recommend!”
“Idk the gentleman's name but he is great. His recommendations are always on point with what I'm looking for. Also seems to have limited edition bottles and some from years earlier. Thank you for our orange mango margaritas with our Don Julio 70. Delicious”
