Wine Academy Superstores

This is the best place in the area for wine selection because the staff is so knowledgeable about their products. I have limited education on wine but love to drink it. I always need help finding something. I like looking for new wines to purchase along with my favorites. I feel I’m always filling up my wine refrigerator so I do look for moderately priced wines. I love buying from small family vineyards. Through assistance of their great staff I have found some really wonderful wines under $ 10. Ok don’t laugh I’m serious! These wines don’t break the bank and taste really good. My favorite wine is Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio, but for it averages between $ 20 – 25 a bottle. So they introduced me to a wine from a small family vineyard that many local restaurants use as their house wine, Ca’Donini Pinot Grigio. I have been buying this wine ever since they recommend it, but on occasion I treat myself to my favorite.
Now on the flip side I’ve gone in for gifts as we have family members who really know their wines and have a more expansive pallet than myself. I ask for assistance, tell them what I want to spend and what kind of wine I’m looking for… jackpot every time!
They have a tasting room in the back which is fun to try. Case price discounts and watch for their coupons. They also carry a good selection of beer and hard liquor.

Great liquor store, easily the best in the area. If you’re like me and your tastes run a little more specific, this is the only option around.
The store is located on Route 35 next to the Verizon store, so it’s pretty easy to find and there’s always good parking spots available. They do samplings of beer and wine, there’s a schedule on a board when you enter. The wine and hard liquor selection are quite extensive. But that’s not what I come here for. Their beer selection never fails to disappoint. Harder to find seasonals, local brews, and limited editions are on full view.
The only downside to this store is that their prices are a little high and that their focus on specialized beers may exclude the average consumer. If you’re looking for a bottle of Yellowtail and a case of Yeungling, then this is not the place for you. If you’re a more discerning alcoholic consumer, then get yourself over to this store and treat yo self!

passport isn’t a valid ID? Really? So I can leave the country but at 27 years old I can’t buy beer with a valid passport, credit cards in my name, and a just expired license. Never coming here again.

One of the best in the area because of their vast selection. Others have limited selections. Quality wines from all the major areas. Lots of specialty beers to try with an above average spirits collections. Pricing is competitive and staff are helpful with wine selections based on what you are looking for.

My girlfriend & I frequent this store quite often. Last night around 9pm my gf entered the store. She had just gotten off of work & her hair was disheveled. As she went to the counter the 2 girls that were working started laughing at her out loud. After speaking to the manager who wasn’t much help at all, my gf left not only embarrassed but hurt. The owners of this liquor store should talk to his staff about 1) professionalism and 2) customer service etiquette! This will be our last time at this place! And I urge all of you to take your business elsewhere as we all have been a victim of ridicule at some point! Waiting on a response from management!

Nice store with a pretty decent beer selection. Tim the beer manager is very knowledgable and helpful in picking out the best beer to try. I’ve been a loyal customer here for a few years now but I’m pretty unhappy with the direction the store is going in lately. The store manager isn’t very nice or personable. Half of the time she seems like she s in her own world and has no idea what is going on. My biggest complaint is that they recently fired some of their best staff (specifically their wine/​beer expert Joe) and brought in some thugs who don’t appear to know the business. The Tuesday night beer tastings are cool but there are much better stores with much better prices in the area.

Great selection and some stuff you won’t find elsewhere in the area. Where this place shines is their customer service. I know my way around a wine shop, but the associates here definitely add to the experience and know what they are talking about. Can’t beat the four free tastings a day either.
Only downside is their prices are definitely slightly higher than other shops for the same wine, particularly the lesser know labels.
My biggest complaint is how I go here intending a quick trip and the selection is big enough that I spend too much time in the store looking at all the wine. So not a complaint really.

Simply a great wine store. Their wine selection, price, and staff make this place shine. They also have a large collection of craft beers and an enhanced selection the usual six-​pack suspects. There are also wine and beer tastings weekly.

Every time I come here I leave with another fabulous wine that I’d never heard of before walking in, and every time I am THRILLED with the recommendation. They carry everything from obscure Basque wines to Organic wines, local beers and any sort of specialty apertif you may ever want. Prices are a bit high for the area, but you’re paying for solid advice from educated, wine-​loving staff. If this place was any closer to home I’d most definitely develop a very expensive drinking problem.

Don’t know anything about wine? Look no further. This is literally a super-​store of vino. The people that work there are ridiculously friendly and knowledgable. Just mention what vague genre you want, and boom, you are pointed to shelves and shelves of all different wine types. They’ve got every price range, so for those budget cautious, don’t think this place is not for you!
If you do know anything about wine, have fun. It’s a wine playground!

This place is a little pricey but the staff knows it stuff… if you tell them what you like they can offer some suggestions! The place by the Pep Boys is okay and Buy Rite in Cliffwood is less expensive and has a similar selection but I like this store from a esthetic point of view

Such a great wine selection and great prices! They always have everything I’m looking for and the staff is so friendly!

I will make it a point to return when business brings me to the area again.
Outstanding beer and wine selection, large cooler, plus usual liquors.
Close enough to best prices I have found, and better than NY.
Made helpful offer to carry items to car. Greeted by owner or manager.
Tricky intersection at Bethany Road and Route 35, so plan your turn in advance.
Parking lot is shared with Verizon Wireless, your landmark.
Ignore the typos in their website; they are better than that:
