A fantastic selection of wines from all different wine regions - Napa, Italy, France, Spain, they even have a few Texas wines! You can also find a fair amount of sherry, port and liquor. They keep the store chilled and most wines are stored horizontally. That's when you know they take good care of the wine. I love coming on Saturdays for free wine tastings from 12-3pm. Each week they feature a new winery, region, or producer. The staff is very nice, knowledgeable and willing to help while you shop! There's a mini parking lot next to the store or you can opt to park on the street.

We came here the week before Christmas to buy some wine as a gift. We don't know much about wine so when we walked in, we knew we were going to need some help. This place has their own parking lot which makes it so much more stress-free with being downtown. As soon as we walked in, the gentleman asked us if we needed help and we told him what kind of wine we were looking for and the price range and he was able to show us a few different options. We trusted his recommendation and went with the bottles he suggested. The wine we bought was going to be a gift for our family members so unfortunately, we didn't get to taste it (I'm not much of a wine drinker anyway). I loved the inside of this place because it had all the wine bottles displayed easily to read in every aisle. Overall, our experience here was amazing! We will definitely be back!! :)

Yesterday from New York I ordered two fine red Bordeaux to be delivered as wedding anniversary gifts to my son in Austin. I could not do it online. Either their website does not have that option or I couldn't find it. But they seemed to have a good selection of fine wines. So I called them and did it on the phone. Holly on the phone was helpful. She also asked other experts in the store for my questions to which she did not have an answer. Today the delivery was made with nice gift wrapping. Now I know a good wine store in Austin.

I went in and they did not carry the wine I was looking for, but they reached out to the distributor and had a case for me within two days because I had come in after 5 o’clock. Otherwise they could’ve had it the next day..

Great wine selection and staff help. I've trusted them to pair wine in my price range and never been let down. Describe your taste preferences and your meal and they'll take care of you.

if you are a big fan of a white wine, you may turn around, but if you are in love with a burgundy red, you should visit

Whether you're looking for a bottle on a Tuesday night to eat with popcorn on your couch or a bottle for a special occasion, this is the place to go. They are extremely knowledgable and will help you find exactly what you're looking for. Henry helped me select bottles for my upcoming CMS exams and I was in and out in no time. Thank you for the fantastic service!! Free and easy parking in their lot is a huge perk too!

When you sniff out a great wine shop that also has local beer and a wall of whisky/ whiskey. Provisions within walkable distance of our hotel, the downtown Hilton. And the service was impeccable. They chatted up a few different vineyards and we landed on a Sauvignon Blanc, Sancerre, and Belgian White we've never had.

The Austin Wine Merchant is the BEST wine shop in town! If you are looking for a fantastic selection of old world wines and top notch customer service; look no further. They also have a great selection of spirits and the prices are competitive. Five stars!

I came here due to my son's recommendation. He has had a lot of interaction with this place and I can see why. The staff member was very knowledgeable and helped me pick out a couple of very nice bottles at reasonable prices (I'm a value guy). The place was a little cramped but that is because they have a great selection of wines. Like the Terminator, I'll be back.

I'm a huge fan of Austin Wine Merchant -- a thoughtful, well-curated collection of delicious wines, they never fail to turn me on to new bottles.At some point, I realized that, rather than roll the dice at some other wine shops around town, it was a better Return on Investment to call these guys, ask for a selection of 6-12 bottles, give them a price range (which -- ahem-- for me is low-ish, like under $25/bottle, for sure), tell them a few likes and dislikes, and say "surprise me." I have yet to be disappointed.Highly recommend.

I've never shopped here but I absolutely wouldn't at this point. Parked in front of their business for 5 minutes to unload. I am a commercial business. It says commercial businesses can unload where I was unloading. But yet I had a lady come out and start griping at me within 2 minutes of being parked and pulling product for my job out of my vehicle. Didn't give me the opportunity to see if I was going to move my vehicle. Just very disrespectful. Don't like dealing with Karen's.
