Wine Warehouse

I’m done with this place. They have a good selection but there employees are infuriatingly inconsistent. When they get a rare item, they will lie to your face when you ask for it. Friends would get a beer there, tell me about, then I would go and they would say they never got it in. When I call them out on it then its unsurprisingly sold out. This has happened more than once. One time I came back and tried again and then they had it. I am not giving them my business again.

This is a nice option for the wine lovers out there. I really like how the wines are organized by type instead of region. I find it a little harder to find when it is organized by the latter. But I guess that is how they get you to impulse buy? I was able to find what I was looking for as soon as I walked in and browsed a little after. I picked up a bottle on sale, which I thought was a little weird I almost never see wine on sale. But being a warehouse and all I figured they buy large quantities. I really appreciated them having a cooking wines section which I have never really seen. The only cooking wine I use is Marsala so it’s nice to know where to find it next time I need it and not have to resort to the lower quality grocery store Marsala. The wine section takes up over half of the store. When I was ready to check out the cashier rung me up with a smile and I was on my way.

This is my preferred local booze vendor. New Jersey and their bizarre liquor licensing laws mean there is not a lot of competition going on in the marketplace and you can’t buy beer or wine at the grocery store. WW has a wide selection of wine, good selection of liquor/​spirits and an okay selection of craft beer too. Staff are friendly and it’s easy to park right by the door. Prices are good and some great sales too.

If you need wine, then go here. I am very inexperienced with wine and went here to purchase my first bottle.
I of course had no idea what I was doing… an employee must have recognized my helplessness because he came over and asked me I needed help — I very much did! I told him the name I was looking for and he instantly led me to its shelf. I can appreciate an employee being so familiar with inventory.
Speaking of inventory — there are more wines here than I’ve ever seen in one place before. They have them organized by location of origin.
The price seemed reasonable too, but I am not an expert, as I have pointed out. What I got was $ 15; it was Shamong Red.
Good parking lot, which is important to me since I baby my car.
The store was cleanly kept and very organized.
