Somerville, MA
Very clean inside! Great customer service as well, I found a great selection of Rose wines to pick from. I would definitely recommend shopping here.

I was the only customer in the store today at around 11:30 am. The store didn’t look open. There were carts and carts of product blocking the wine aisles. There were boxes in the aisle. And there was no one on the floor. I have recently relocated to the area, and am looking for my new go-​to wine store. This visit was my first, and it was an epic fail. The wine selection is poor, the prices across the board are high, and I walked out with only one of a number of items on my list. I even mentioned to the checkout clerk that there didn’t seem to be anyone on the floor to assist customers, and she laughed and said «what customers?» Exactly. Go elsewhere.

For a while Wines & More was my go-​to liquor store since I lived and worked in the immediate area. Now that I moved to Providence, I still find myself there from time to time. Since it’s immediately next door to Whole Foods, the location is as convenient as it gets for Whole Foods Cranston shoppers (It’s a nice way to compensate for RI blue laws). Inside is a dizzing array of different wines, but the store is organized fairly well. Wine is on the right side when you walk in, spirits in the middle, and beer along the back and to the left.
I’ve always had an easy time picking out a good well-​priced wine. Prices in general are on-​par for most liquor stores in the area (and I’ve been to quite a few). Beer selection is extensive as well, with the regular offerings from a wide variety of brewers. I wouldn’t expect to find any single/​limited release beers here though. The beer buyer mentioned once that they don’t get the permission to buy a lot of these (as a chain, I guess?). That was a year back, but I’ve noticed the same pattern with their buying.
Overall, it’s a good, big liquor store. Just come here with the expectations of having a lot of wine/​beer available to you, but not being able to find anything unique/​special. They also tend to not carry some of the more esoteric liqueurs/​spirits. You’ll have to go elsewhere for that.

Good selection. Prices reasonable for location. Poor customer service. Very rude when my husband accidentally gave cashier expired license. Said something along the lines of, «your I’d is expired I will not serve you» and took the 6 pack from him and walked away. He had a valid ID on him. She then would not sell to me bc I was with him. I understand the strict regulations especially considering the prevalence of underage consumption. My husband and I are in our 30s… we have been rudely served by this woman before. Will likely not return and travel further for kindness. Perhaps she was complimenting us … you just look so young!

I used to travel to Yankee Spirits to get my wine. Now that I have Wines and More in Cranston, I get the great deals I got there in much less time. I’m not a beer drinker but if I were I can’t imagine a beer that they don’t carry. Of course they have all the regulars, but many more unusual beers to sample. Me, I prefer wine and they have everything from boxed (which is actually pretty good; at least the Black Box is) to two for one specials to very expensive fine wines. They offer a 20% discount on regularly priced half cases (6 bottles), and they have a reward card which when filled is good for 25% off a regularly priced bottle. I usually save these up to get good deals on Christmas presents. They also offer wine and beer tastings periodically. I am definitely planning to get to one. Hope to see you there!

Business Tip– came in here yesterday and purchased a bottle of wine and came back today to get another — forgot my license in the car and the lady asked if I had my license I said not on me– she said can’t sell you the wine BYE. Grabbed the wine and put it in the back– I would have gone out to my car and come back– but not after that confrontation — who the hell did she think she was talking to? Not a customer. Won’t be back.

The place is very clean, I’ve found great deals and, the selection of wine is fantastic. They pretty much cover the globe with wine choices, they had wine ice cream too!

This place is huge! I would say almost comparable to Yankee spirits in size but not quite the selection in wine. However you could spend all day in the mix a 6 aisles, that’s right plural. So many beers to try!
This trip I checked out the seasonal walk in cooler, pretty great stuff. I believe there is another walk in somewhere but didn’t try to find it.
For beer– great selection of local, unique and fun to try!
Wine, there is a plenty. I like how they label the store as well.
Overall great place and highly recommend.

Amazing and great are the first two words I think of when I go to this wine store! They have any wine you can think as well as staff that know wine and can help with any questions. Besides wine they do have hard liquor and beer ect. Very large selection! Great store!

I love this place… I will drive out of my way, past my local liquor store, to stock up on delicious craft beer I just can’t find anywhere else. The best selection of beer I’ve seen– they have St. Bernardus! Celebrator! Ayinger! Oh my!
Best part? You can buy singles to try out new beer! No need to commit to a 6pk of a beer you haven’t tasted… U can pick & choose one of each & discover new beer without the commitment.
Bonus: they have a frequent buyers card. A little sad to think how much $$ I spent on alcohol, but true. So I embrace it. I love my beer… & this place is perfect bc I’m always on the hunt for a new brand to be excited about.

it’s hard to really judge a liquor store, however there is something about it that was worth my time writing a positive review… the beer selection is hands down the most extensive I’ve seen around, I’ve actually spent an hour looking through all of them. same with the wine, they always seem to have new wines coming in… if you buy 6 bottles of wine, you get 20% off all of them… how can you beat that deal.
glad it’s close to home.

This place is huge, clean, and bright. It’s not near where we live, so we don’t go often, but if we’re in the neighborhood we try and stop in. Great selection.

North Providence, RI
Definitely one of my favorite liquor stores because the selection is incredible.
It’s a bit overwhelming in here but the staff is great and always willing to help you find what you need.
The craft beer selection of loose bottle and packs is like no other around. There’s aisles and aisles full of beer. And if you’re more of a domestic drinker, check out the «beer cave» in the back with large cases of beer.
They’ve also got some really interesting boxed wines that you can’t find anywhere else. Recently I picked up «The Birdman» Pinot Grigio because of the interesting box, and it’s probably the tastiest boxed white wine I’ve ever had.
It’s easy to spend a lot of $$$ in here, be careful! :)

Oh Wines & More how I’ve missed you! Since moving a few years back, Wines & More is a bit out of the way for me now but my love for this place has not diminished.
Living closer to the state line, I tend to just take advantage of the cheaper prices in Mass but if I find myself in Cranston I still enjoy stopping in. They offer a great selection and the employees are really friendly and helpful (I have always had pleasant cashiers too). I also appreciate the layout and organization of the place.
Not only do they have a great variety of alcoholic goodness but they always have basically anything else you could possibly need; party cups, juices, sodas, ping pong balls, etc. They also offer classes and many other tasting events. You can tell the owners go out of their way to offer everything they can to the customers in attempt to outweigh their slightly higher prices, and I must say, it works for me.
One HUGE plus are the gift baskets they sell in store and also make to order. They also offer many other gift items. Over the holidays you can stop in and just pick one up (the perfect last minute gift idea). Wines & More is certainly one of the better liquor stores in the area.

I agree with both the positives and negatives stated in several of the other reviews. Wines & More has an exceptional beer and very good wine selection. The store is clean, well lit and well organized. They also have many types of hard liquor but I did notice that they were out of stock on some of the high end brands such as Don Julio tequila.
What some other Unilocalers have noticed, as well as I, is that many of the cashiers need a crash course in customer service. Some never smile; some seldom smile. I have never found any of them to be rude but nor have they been overly friendly. The people who work the floor, however, have always been helpful and nice. Also as Marybeth B noted, you have to make sure they add in your discount. I know someone else who shared her experience of not having a discount applied. Prices are a bit high but seem in line with the other RI liquor stores.
So a very good place to buy your wine, beer and hard liquors but also a place with an important area that needs improvement.

I love this liquor store for a few reasons. I find the selection of wine is very impressive and categorized quite well. Every time I stop in I buy a different kind to try.
Also, lets talk about the extensive array of craft beer selection. Without Wines and More I would never have discovered one of my favorite beers in the entire world. They also allow you to mix a 6 pack. There is nothing worse than buying a 6 pack to try and finding out the beer is absolutely disgusting. This allows you to really try out a wide range of beers without having to commit to just one (and 6 of them).
Wines and More also offers free seminars to the public. My husband and I recently attended the Southern Tier beer seminar where a representative came to talk about the brewery and let you sample the beers. We actually learned quite a bit and are still talking about how much fun it was.
Lastly — who doesn’t love the Beer Cave?! Enough said.

First thing’s first: I’m what some would call a «craftie». Craft beer runs through my veins, fills my dreams at night, and inspires me to venture out to new bars and restaurants in search of new flavors, styles and brands.
Some would call that an obsession, but I call it a passion, and for a passionate beer fan, this place is a paradise. Wines and More has just an unfair amount of craft beers, a huge refrigerated section and an extensive collection of wines as well.
But back to the beers again for a second — I’m really impressed by the number of limited and special edition beer varieties that are regularly on the shelves. I just picked up limited edition styles of Red Hook, Widmer Brothers, and Long Trail, for example. I didn’t even know they existed before my last visit!
Sadly though, I’m a Bostonian, and Cranston is a bit of a hike from my Beantown apartment. However, I’m going to continue going out of my way every time I’m down in RI to visit friends and family to stock up on as many make-​your-​own six packs and limited editions of awesome craft beer as my budget allows.

This is one of the best liquor stores for wine and beer in RI, no doubt. We always find something interesting and well-​priced out of their vast selection, and it’s always interesting because they add in new wines on top of the best-​selling standards.
I like that this place doesn’t have the stank so many liquor stores do — it’s clean and bright with well-​marked sections and a helpful staff. They also do cute things like put together gift baskets you can chose from, or you can make your own.
While they do carry a large assortment of liquors as well, the prices aren’t the best in the area, and they don’t carry some of the more eclectic spirits I like to imbibe. But as far as beer and wines, this place is fab!

Anything lower than five stars feels like an affront to this place. The wine selection is broad, deep, and rotates fresh offerings in regularly. The liquor segment is expansive and well-​organized. And the beers… my heavens. Single bottle and six-​packs of some of the best and rarer labels from around the world, all available for create-​your-​own six-​packs, each at 10% off if you do. Plentiful full cases and cold availability, all at very competitive prices. And with beer, wine, and spirits, they have a deep reserve of other things they can special order for you.
I admit that this isn’t always my first stop for beer, because I usually need to spend 45+ minutes scouring the selection, deciding what to buy, re-​thinking, and eventually checking out. I can’t do that every time, but each time I can afford the time (or I can self-​discipline myself to just run in and shop off a list), this is an utterly magnificent store to hit. Outstanding gift options and helpful service are icing on the cake. I plain love it here, and I’m not nearly alone.
