I agree with the others that have mentioned Max. He has never steered me wrong whether it’s just an every day wine to drink or pair, or if it’s a splurge, Max nails it!

4.5 and I rounded up. Started going here the past few months. Good deal if you buy a case or more of wine. Would be good if they upgraded their selection of French wines, but I guess they are meeting neighborhood demand.

The dudes who work the weekend shifts; my heart goes out to you all! So helpful and always stocked full of hard cider. It’s like fucking Christmas when I come here every weekend; always got the Downeast and always have the Citizen from Vermont. Also love how you guys have Scrumpy’s.
Friendly, fast, efficient, wonderful cider selection.
Paleo People love you.

I’ll be biased here. I went in with the intent of getting a few quarters for parking so I bought a Vouvray, they could only charge me for price of wine but the gentleman at the cashier gave me 2 quarters!
He does not have to that but I think it was a nice gesture.
The Vouvray was nice and was thoroughly enjoyed-​emptied the bottle really quick!
The store has decent selection from most parts of the globe.
I guess my experience was a pleasant one!

The Wine Emporium has an extensive selection of wines and liquors and many beers that are difficult to find elsewhere, in addition to better prices than other liquor stores nearby. The staff is so friendly and helpful. A great South End spot!

I needed some liquor for a party I was having and choose the wine Emporium. The team here were very friendly and were very knowledgeable of Wines, cocktails and such. If they didnt have it in stock they were more than willing to have it shipped from the other store. Pricing was great considering the amount I was getting for the event and Since I was right down the street the liquor and wine were delivered right to my door. Like i said the team was amazing and very helpful!
Thanks guys!

I exclusively get all of my wine from here, I love this place and can’t say enough good things! They have a great selection of wine and beer. Max, the wine manager, is extremely knowledgeable and has never steered me wrong. There are days i’ll get 10 bottles and every one he recommends are good. If you are on a budget, have something specific in mind or are just looking for a good bottle, come to wine emporium and ask for Max. To be honest, the rest of the staff is really friendly but does not know wine as well so definitely call ahead and see if max is there.

I had just left the Shaw’s near the Prudential when I remembered I had gone there in the first place to look for wine while grocery shopping. Luckily, I found this place through Unilocal that was conveniently on the bus route to my friend’s place. I was planning a specific meal and asked the staff for recommendations. The man was very helpful, once I asked for assistance. I told him what meal I was planning and he quickly made a recommendation based on the ingredients. Accepts credit cards. I was in and out within 10 minutes. I brought over a moderately priced lovely pinot noir to go with a black bean chili, and they were both a hit.

What a great find. I always pass by this place on the way back home, and I never thought too much about it until I needed some wine (and I ran into that wack Shaws «MA ID or U.S. passport only» alcohol policy). I went downstairs and found a great selection of wine. I also came across a couple of tastings (wine and whiskey). I was pretty impressed — my expectations were definitely surpassed haha. The staff knew their stuff, and they were very friendly, energetic and helpful. This is such a refreshing change from the usual disgruntled liquor store employees lol.

Definitely a great place for all your alcohol needs. They have an expansive section of hard alcohol as well as an entire basement level full of wine. I was especially impressed to discover that they carry large bottles of Lillet, one of my favorites. The staff was very helpful. When I stopped in last weekend they were doing a special promotion where all wines were 20% off. The cashier said to me, well, I am pretty sure Lillet is a wine, and gave me the discount. I’m not in the South End too often, but will definitely make sure that I stop in here again.

This place is great, but I don’t check-​in here. I’d surely be duke in no time and then have to confront my drinking problem.
Wow, this review got dark fast.

A nice wine shop with a most impressive craft brew selection — picked up a couple of Element Brewery’s offerings and I’ve got another half dozen stouts/​porters to pick up and try on my next visit =D

This place is large and in charge. If you’re a wino, come by Thursday — Saturday nights for a free tasting. If you’re like me, and into beer, these guys have one of the best and most reasonably priced selections of Belgians. They are also the only place I’ve found that carries the legend brewery Hill Farmstead’s beers from Vermont.

Great selection of wine when you go downstairs into the basement. They have it sorted out from which part of the world the wine is made from.
The main floor has a large selection of hard liquor and beer at prices reasonable for Massachusetts.
This store is conveniently located on tremont which is a decently close distance from students around the BUMC area. (the liquor store on washington closed down, damnit!) and Foodies only sells beers and wines.
Friendly staff

If you need some booze in the South End chances are this will be your first stop. It’s one of the only places (and to my knowledge the only place) that sells exclusively alcohol. If you need any liquor you definitely have to come here. The prices are reasonable. I think I’ve been able to find cheaper beer and wine around the South End. But honestly if you need a one stop shop for a party this place will be your best bet. It’s conveniently located and large enough to help you stock for whatever you need.
On the cash register they tend to have monthly sales for certain types of liquors. I’ve taken advantage of some that have been generally pretty good. The workers are friendly and will answer your questions if you go to them directly.

This place is about as serious as a heart attack. They have such a ridiculous amount liquor that it makes my head spin a bit. I can’t be in here for less than 10 minutes while trying to pick up a cheap bottle of Pinot (because honestly, spending more than $ 8 on something that will be gone within the hour doesn’t make sense to me). But I often wander around the store smiling at silly labels and getting lost in the selection.
My only complaint: The only thing they don’t have is my go-​to liquor (Svedka Raspberry) in a big bottle.

Though not a wine connoisseur (and most of us aren’t), their wine selection is fantastic and certainly sufficient for the primary reason most of us go to liquor/​wine stores: to buy a bottle of two for an evening with friends — who probably aren’t connoisseurs themselves.
Not only a very friendly staff, the first time I visited the Columbus store, I asked if I could bring my 90lb lab in the store; the gentleman looked at me oddly and said, «Of course.». A very dog-​friendly staff as well.
Having just moved to Boston I am excited about learning my neighborhood well and it’s places like The Wine Emporium that has me excited about meeting more local businesses.
For their type of store, I’d say they’re doing the whole «how to run a local business well» spiel to a tee. So much so I really don’t care what price I’m paying as I’m sure it’s fair.
I’ll be stocking up for a party soon, and these guys will be my first stop.
Cheers!

There’s so much alcohol here, your head starts spinning before you even take a sip. If you’re looking for something specific, it’s pretty easy to find, since everything is organized by region of origin, i.e. France, New Zealand, Italy, etc.
If you walk in not knowing what you want, however, you might be here for AWHILE. I sought out a nice bottle of white wine and was tempted by another bottle about every 5 steps. Great selection.
Interesting tidbit: They now offer alcohol-​infused whip cream at the counter that my friend picked up strictly for the novelty (so he says). That sounds like either a) a lot of fun, or b) really bad news. The guys who work here went on for 10 minutes about the different flavors. I don’t think I’ve ever heard guys so enthusiastic about whip cream before…

Uhhmmm there’s no wine here?!
Oh, jaykay jaykay — how did I miss the giant lattice arch draped in grapevines leading down the stairs to a wine cellar…
This location is larger than there Columbus Ave store so obviously there is a greater selection. Still offering their neighborhood friendly prices with smiling employees, I would recommend anyone stop by for their beer, wine, and liquor needs.
Wanna be classy? Move downstairs and talk with one of their wine consultants about their bottle selection. Me? I’ll be upstairs near the grab’n’go wine fridge buying one of the cheap bottles. I put the ass in class.
