Triangle Wine Company

Don’t expect much when they are short of help. Slightly rude. Avid wine drinker and first timer –won’t be back.

I will give the tap/​bar (not really a bar) 4 stars and the wine store 5 stars. On the taps they always have interesting beers to try that you wouldn’t be able to find other places. They really rotate the taps so each time I go there it is an entirely different beer list. We typically get a drink and then shop for wine. They have a large selection of wine and the part of it is the people that work there are knowledgeable about wine so I can ask them for something I am seeking and they will make several suggestions. Waaaaay better than shopping at the grocery store or total wine. If I am even near the area I stop by and stock up on wine.

Great service no tipping required because it’s not a barn they do samples of all the beers and the outdoor patio in the evening is priceless

I love this place despite their prices. This place gives me the opportunity to try out new beers. The guys who work there know more than enough to answer your questions. Their suggestions has always helped me make decisions quicker.
They may be on the pricier side probably by a dollar or two when it comes to beers. But that is cost I am willing to pay to support locally owned stores.
Bottom line: Amicable staff. Good choices of beers and wine at a slightly higher premium

Yeah I’m a Beer Guy… and this place has got BEER! Everything from your Basic Drinking beer to High End Specialties… even meads… Triangle Wine Co. Offers an in house bar with 20 taps of rotational taps. Its like a box of chocolates Forest… ya never know what ya gonna get. Stop in… drink it up and enjoy what’s on tap or find a brew on the shelf on buy it have them chill it and enjoy right there! Staff is well versed in the ways of finding what you might like.

I still love TWC for the nostalgia factor but there has definitely been a change there. Over the past six months or so I’ve notice quite a few new staff and some old disappear so many that’s the change. However, as a regular frequenter of the Friday tap takeovers for the past year there are some things I’ve noticed. First, parking. This is major, TWC needs to put up some signs about parking options or put it in their email at least for Friday’s because people it’s insanity! This is one of the reasons I’ve stopped going as much, because of the pure hassle. I also witnessed a car accident last week when someone failed to look behind them when backing up (beer and a tight parking lot might not be the best combination).
Second, some of my favorite places to visit are the spots were you build relationships with the staff/​bartenders. In the year that I’ve been visiting TWC I’ve never felt recognized or remembered by the staff, and the only person that did have regularly conversations with my boyfriend and myself, a very tall older woman, I found out no longer works there! This is one area that I’d love to see improved and is necessary since they are more then just a beer/​wine store but also have their bar in the back.
Finally, some little notes: you no longer have to use cash only at the bar on Fridays, credit is accepted too. $ 5 will be you almost any pour (occasionally they have more expensive cask pours) and the glass size will change according to value. They have outdoor seating now although get there early on Fridays if you expect to get a seat. Beer prices are some of the lowest in the area and they have great specials (I know this for a fact because I did a statistics project on beer prices at bottle shops all over the triangle, evident!) Finally, expect a crowd if you’re going Friday after work, where there used to be a handful of people when I first started going to their tap takeovers, the word has spread and all of RTP wants to get in on the goods.

Have only been here once but I did really enjoy my time. They have a mini bar in the back with several rotating draft selections and you can drink while you shop or just sit and relax. Beer selection is great and everything I got was still in date. Only complaint is that the prices seem a bit higher than some other places I have seen.

Places like this are few and far in between. Great selection of beers on tap available while you browse the beer and wine selection to take home.

Excellent wine store with excellent service! I highly recommend coming here if it isn’t too far out of the way. The wine is highly praised from others, and the employees always make you feel at home. Also enjoy the small bar inside the store.

ALL TAPS are $ 5, unless its a super pricey keg or its discounted. KBS $ 5, Bourbon County $ 5, etc.
Competitive prices, tremendous selection, professional staff, 20 rotating craft brew taps, beer events each Friday and wine events on Thursday. TWC is a favorite after work hang out of beer and wine lovers alike. I was concerned about the light coming through the glass in the front and one of the owners (Glenn) said he paid a lot to have it UV treated, so my single concern about the place was ameliorated.
Beer and wine club members (it’s free) get special access to allocated beers before the masses so it pays to be a member.
The staff is always friendly and professional and they know the beer. If they don’t, they will ask a more senior staff member to find the right answer. Another thing I really like is the sincerity of the recommendations. If a particular tap isn’t up to snuff, they don’t plug it to move it, they just discount it.
This is easily my favorite place in all of RTP to buy beer and wine and to go for an after work drink.

Beer! Yes this place has plenty of it! I gather here with friends during their tap takeovers featuring various brewing companies, and we always enjoy it. If you want to taste their beers on tap just venture to the very back and you can’t miss the bar. A pint is generally $ 5. They also expanded their outdoors to include a fenced patio, but it’s not covered so only an option during nice weather.
Their beer selection is massive! If there’s ever a novel beer that I need to find, this is the first place I look. I managed to dig up some Bacon Maple Ale here too :)
Enjoy this gem!

Fantastic selection of wine and beer. The staff is super knowledgable and are always happy to help with suggestions on picking the right beverage. They also have tap takeovers on Fridays featuring various breweries. The drafts at the bar are $ 5. Great place to hang out and try a beer or stock up.

Triangle Wine Company has a better selection of draft beer than most bars! Honestly! And I would have never found this gem without Unilocal!
The wine selections looked great, but I was really there for their 1,000 label+ beer selection. They are well organized, with a nice selection of six-​packs, 22 oz. bottles, and a decent selection of singles for make-​your-​own four– or six-​packs. What really stood out, though, were how nice the employees were and the great 20-​tap small bar at the back. It definitely had some hard-​to-​find beers and things that aren’t common in NC (as much as I try to drink local, every now and again, it’s nice to find something at a specialty beer store that I can’t get at my local bar). I sampled a few, and bought a beer from a small brewery in NY that I’d never heard of – awesome.

My boyfriend and I went in on a Sunday afternoon. The place was not what we were expecting, part of our disappointment is our own fault I guess (we expected them to serve wine and maybe some finger foods, based on an experience in Orlando). At the same time, as we wandered around we were not greeted by any employees and received dirty looks from other customers. I was hoping they would have wine to sample but they only had beer.
The selection was very interesting, I would maybe return to shop for a special occasion.

Let’s face it, this isn’t «Total Wine» and I mean that in a very good way.
Selection appears to be good, prices appear to be fair and the staff is certainly friendly and helpful.
«Top shelf» and specialty wines are terrific. I have yet to go wrong here.

Awesome wine and beer selection at fair prices. The best part is the service– the owners are really friendly, very knowledgeable, and very attentive to customer needs. They’ve given me an education in wine, and I really miss going there.
Also, they have beer and wine available at a bar in the back.

I come here for beer, even though it’s the ‘Wine’ company. Their selection is massive. They have a cooler for beers you want to drink RIGHT NOW.
Super-​duper ‘secret’ tip: walk INTO the cooler to see what other nice goodies they have available, including growlers.
I’ve been enjoying singles of some nice Belgian offerings here lately. My dilemma is trying to find something new, while passing up all the great stuff I already know I love.
They have rotating beers on tap in the back, but I’m usually here after dinner with the kids in-​tow, so I’ve yet to take advantage of this setup.
When I’m looking for wine, I pretty much HAVE to ask for help. I don’t recognize the labels, but whatever I take home is usually really, really good.

First of all, kudos for the *huge* storefront sign that is easily seen from the road. Simple things like this make me go over the moon. There’s an ample amount of wine available, but not as much beer as I would have liked. However, I was pretty impressed to make a few brew discoveries that I have yet to find elsewhere. ;)
I loved that you could enter the refrigerated area to pick out a «cold» pack, single, or keg. It made me feel a bit mischievous, being in this «secretive» area. I was honestly hoping to freak out another customer by peering between the bottles. Guess I missed my chance when I told my boyfriend about the door. Darn!
The bar area in the back was pretty cool, but I would’ve liked it if it were a little more «homey». Maybe dimmer lighting and cozier seating?
Check-​out was a bit slow, since there weren’t as many associates working on that Saturday night, but the associate was super friendly.
I love how this place is playing upon the whole «sip ‘n shop» idea — crafty marketing!

I was so happy when this place finally opened up, since the drive up to Sam’s Quik Shop in Durham was always quite a drive for me. Triangle Wine Co. has a fantastic assortment of imported beers like the lambics, kriek and Belgian beers I like, as well as some of the best domestic beers available. Generally I overlook their wine selection in favor of their beers, since I think you’d be able to find most of these wines available at any local Kroger or Harris Teeter. But they do seem very knowledgeable about the wines they do carry, and I would feel confident about taking their advice for a wine choice.
Coming from the south it’s kind of a pain to get to their parking lot, involving at least 1 left turn and a U-​turn, but otherwise their location is pretty good at a major intersection just south of RTP. I hope they stick around a while, since it’ll take me a while to go through all their different beers!

Honestly… I think this place rocks. Pure and simple. A beer and wine superstore with some character. In Morrisville, no less. Wow. The mind is a-​boggle.
Like many here on Unilocal,I like going to and supporting my local businesses. When I saw this one being built, I anxiously awaited for the opening. Passing by this week, I saw it open and went to check it out.
Shelves upon shelves of wine selections, you could spend tons of time just surveying the possibilities here. I was like a kid, just spinning around looking going «…wow.» Same with the beer selections, pretty solid selection. See my pics for some perspective on it. And low and behold, they have a bar in the back where you can get a cold one (local brewery selections on tap) and enjoy while you shop. Niiiicceeee. There is a sizeable cooler section for cold selections and then shelves in the store stocked as well.
The staff was great. If they saw you needed help, they came over, happily and completely answered any questions, then left you to your shopping if you wanted or continued to help if you asked. Perfect customer service. What more can you ask for?
I came in for a look-see…and left with a large bottle of my Unibroue Ephemere to chill at the house. Bonus. The gentlemen helping me said they have tastings on the weekends as well, so I will have to be sure to check them out at some point.
Bottom line: I am impressed.
